Incursions

At our school, we believe in enriching learning beyond the classroom. That’s why we actively participate in engaging incursions, bringing exciting educational experiences directly to our students. These interactive sessions complement our curriculum, sparking curiosity and deepening understanding across a variety of subjects. Join us as we explore, discover, and learn together through dynamic incursions right here at school!

Sports

Ellerston Public School is proud to take part in the Upper Hunter Invermein Small Schools Cross Country, Athletics, and Swimming carnivals. These events offer our students fantastic opportunities to develop their sporting skills, enjoy friendly competition, and build lasting friendships with peers from local schools. We celebrate the spirit of teamwork, effort, and sportsmanship in every event and look forward to continuing our strong involvement year after year.
