We value and support students individual needs and
differences. Quality programs ensure outstanding academic results. Our
support programs for students with learning difficulties are
recognised
for their success.
Our supporting programs have enjoyed a strong tradition of
achievement. This in turn supports the school's welfare programs.
Scone Public School offers excellent enrichment programs,
particularly in the Performing Arts and Sciences. Our students enjoy an
extensive variety of cultural experiences.
