Urbenville Public School
What sets UPS apart? Our students.
At Urbenville, we inspire students to uncover and cultivate their distinctive talents and abilities, empowering them to realise their fullest potential. They engage in learning with genuine passion and purpose, emerging as leaders and catalysts for positive change within their classrooms, communities, and beyond. Here, if they can envision it, they can achieve it. After all, you can’t spell awesome, without ‘me’!
Our educational approach is anchored in four foundational pillars—academic, emotional, digital, and social intelligence—underpinned by a cultural framework that fosters self-awareness, resilience, integrity, purpose, meaningful relationships, and healthy lifestyle choices.
We aspire for our students to graduate as compassionate, influential individuals poised to make a lasting impact on the world. We warmly invite you to visit and experience the nurturing, family-like atmosphere of our school. From our family to yours, welcome to UPS.
The Urbenville Public School difference
A strong focus on student wellbeing
Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a nurturing community that fosters a strong sense of belonging for every student.
Low student-teacher ratio
Teachers at UPS spend 30% more one-on-one classroom time with students than the NSW primary school’s average. This means, more individualised teaching leading to better student outcomes.
Unique learning experiences
UPS gives students exciting opportunities that make us stand out. Our creative learning style even earned special VIP invites to two Keith Urban concerts, bringing fun and inspiration to our school. These experiences show our commitment to creativity and excellence, while building a positive and lively school culture where every student can succeed.
Principal's message
Our philosophy to education in the primary school years is embedded in the belief that children should be allowed to relish the joys of childhood for as long as possible. We understand that the challenges of high school and adolescence are significant, and it is essential for children to preserve the innocence and curious freedom that define their early years.
At UPS, we strive to create a learning environment where students not only love their teachers but also feel safe, engaged, and eager to come to school each day. We want our students to leave school excited to share their experiences with their families. While literacy and numeracy will always remain fundamental academic priorities, we balance this with a compassionate approach to wellbeing—nurturing physical, social, and emotional development to build resilience.
If you want your child to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, UPS is the place to be.
