Jindabyne Public School proudly hosted its annual Grandfriends Day today, welcoming grandparents and special friends to join in the festivities as part of Children’s Week celebrations. The day began with a joyful morning assembly featuring a delightful performance by the school choir, before guests spent quality time in classrooms, engaging with students and celebrating the value of public education.

Coinciding with the event was the school’s annual Book Fair, which proved to be a huge success, encouraging children to grow their love of reading and providing valuable resources for the school library.

Children’s Week is a time to appreciate and celebrate all children as unique individuals with their own similarities and differences. At Jindabyne Public School, this week highlights the importance of belonging, inclusion, and respect for every child, creating a supportive environment where all can thrive.

Grandfriends Day forms an important part of Jindabyne Public School’s School Excellence Plan under the ‘Parents in Partnership’ initiative, strengthening connections with families and the wider community to support student learning and wellbeing.

🏆 JPS smashing goals at a State Level! 🏆

What an incredible achievement for three of our Jindabyne Public School students, who have proudly represented both our school and the South Coast at NSWPSSA State Championships across three different sports!

Their talent, determination and sportsmanship have been on full display, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way they have represented our school community.

🏉 Congratulations, Tommy T!
Tommy represented JPS and the South Coast in the Primary Boys Rugby Union team at the NSW PSSA State Championships in Mudgee. Playing at halfback, Tommy was an integral part of the team’s success, with the team taking home the Convener Shield and winning the NSW North Coast/South Coast Cup. What an achievement, Tommy!

🏉 Congratulations, Nessie!
Nessie proudly represented JPS and the South Coast in the Primary Girls Touch Football team at the NSW PSSA State Championships in Coffs Harbour. Playing far wing, Nessie was a key contributor to her team’s success and consistently demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship and wonderful team spirit.

🏃 Congratulations, Makai S!
Makai represented JPS and the South Coast at the PSSA State Cross Country Championships in Sydney, placing an impressive 25th out of 79 athletes. A fantastic result at the state level. Amazing work, Makai!

Three students, three sports and three fantastic examples of what it means to represent Jindabyne Public School at the highest level.

We are incredibly proud of you, Makai, Tommy and Nessie! 👏

📚Celebrating Our NAPLAN Results! 📚

We are pleased to share our 2026 Year 3 and Year 5 NAPLAN results with our Jindabyne Public School community!

We are proud to have seen positive progress across all areas of learning, with results comparable to both the NSW State results and our Statistically Similar School Groups (SSSG).

While NAPLAN provides us with a snapshot of student achievement at one point in time, we know that one assessment on one day can never capture the full picture of a student’s learning journey.

At JPS, we continually monitor and celebrate student progress in much greater detail, using a range of assessment and learning data to understand each student’s individual needs, strengths and areas for growth.

These results are a wonderful opportunity to recognise the hard work, dedication and commitment of our students and staff, as well as the ongoing support of our families and wider school community.

👏 Thank you to everyone who plays a part in supporting our students to learn, grow and strive for their best. We are proud of what our students have achieved and look forward to continuing this journey together!

🎨 The Faces of Jindabyne Public School 🎨

What happens when every student and staff member at Jindabyne Public School becomes part of one artwork?

Our 2026 Student Representative Council (SRC) took on the exciting challenge of planning and organising a whole-school mural celebrating the people who make up our JPS community.

Every student and staff member has contributed their own self-portrait, creating a unique snapshot of our school community in 2026. While every face is different, which reflects the individuality, personality and creativity of the people who make up JPS, together, they form one collective portrait of our school.

The mural now sits proudly beneath the words: “Be better than the person you were yesterday.”

This phrase has become something of a motto for our school, and the mural is a wonderful reflection of what it means to be part of JPS.

Most importantly, this artwork is more than just a mural. It is a record of our school in 2026; capturing the students and staff who make JPS what it is at this moment in time. We hope The Faces of Jindabyne Public School will be enjoyed, celebrated and remembered by our community for many years to come.

A huge congratulations to our SRC for bringing this wonderful idea to life, and thank you to every student and staff member who helped make the mural possible!
