The school fosters a culture of high expectations and high-quality personalised learning programs, supporting a range of diverse learners, for all students. The talented and caring teaching and support staff are committed to building positive relationships and an ethos of life-long learning. Collaborative and collegial practices contribute powerfully to a positive learning environment, where educational research, critical analysis and professional dialogue are highly valued within the school. Cassilis Public School is part of the Mudgee Network and benefits from strong collaborations with the Mudgee Small Schools Network. The shared network target for Reading and Mathematics allows for increased understanding of evidence-based best practice, consistent teacher judgement and improved knowledge.
