Book Week Art Show

SRPS extends a heartfelt thank you to all our talented students who participated in this year’s Book Week Art Showcase. We have been absolutely blown away by the creativity, effort, and imagination displayed in every single artwork—each one is truly fantastic!

A special thanks goes to our wonderful parents and families. Your ongoing support and encouragement make our Art Showcase possible, and we deeply appreciate all that you do behind the scenes.

All the amazing artworks are now proudly exhibited in the school library and will remain on display for the rest of the year for everyone to enjoy.

Education Week

What an outstanding week we’ve had celebrating Education Week at Smalls Road Public School! Our school has been a vibrant hub of excitement and learning, with families joining us to explore open classrooms, admire student artworks, and engage with our talented teacher librarians as well as science and technology educators, gaining insight into their innovative programs.

Highlights of the week included the open classrooms morning, a stimulating maths challenge, and the vibrant creative arts concert—each a wonderful showcase of our students’ diverse talents and enthusiasm. It has been an absolute joy to share these special moments with our school community.

We sincerely thank all the families who joined us during the three days of celebrations. We appreciate the effort it takes to coordinate schedules and are truly grateful for your ongoing commitment and support of your children’s education.

Premier's Spelling Bee Regional Finals

A big congratulations to Aydin S and Liam E who proudly represented Smalls Road Public School at the NSW Spelling Bee Regional Finals on Thursday 6th August. Competing against 31 other schools from across Sydney, they tackled challenging words such as "celery," "prodigious," "formidable," and "liaison" with growing difficulty.

We are incredibly proud of Aydin and Liam’s confidence, courage, and dedication throughout the competition. Well done to both of you for representing our school with such distinction!

Kinder 100 Days at School

The much-loved 100 Days of Kindergarten marked the start of Term 3, with students excitedly coming to school dressed as if they were 100 years old. Sporting fake moustaches, bow ties, and glasses, all kindergarten classes enjoyed a fantastic day filled with a range of special activities. These included literacy tasks centred on the number 100, participating in a fun mathematical challenge counting to 100, and play. It was a wonderful celebration full of learning and laughter!

Congratulations to Daniella

We are proud to announce that Daniella represented Smalls Road Public School and the Ryde/Beecroft Zone PSSA at the Sydney North Football trials on 9 June 2026. Following a highly competitive selection process involving over 72 girls from six zones across the Northern District, Daniella was selected to join the official Sydney North PSSA team.

This is a remarkable achievement, and we commend Daniella for her dedication and talent. She will now represent Sydney North at a three-day tournament later in Term 3.

Congratulations, Daniella, and best of luck in the upcoming competition!

Hills Band Festival

On Sunday, 31 May, the Smalls Road Public School Performance Band proudly participated in the Hills Band Festival, marking their inaugural competition. The students demonstrated great enthusiasm and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of performing in a band festival setting. Their outstanding efforts were recognised with the awarding of the gold trophy for their performance—an exceptional achievement.

Walk Safely to School Day

It was encouraging to see strong participation from students and families in the 2026 Walk Safely to School Day. This national initiative promotes safe walking and commuting practices among primary school children across Australia, supporting healthy lifestyles, road safety awareness, and the reduction of traffic congestion.

Our students were warmly welcomed by staff members and two police officers from the Ryde Local Area Command. The officers addressed the entire school community, reinforcing the importance of proactive and responsible pedestrian behaviours.

Cultural Door Project

The Cultural Door Project goes beyond a one-off mural to provide a long-term, whole-school Aboriginal cultural learning journey that meaningfully engages students, teachers, and the wider community. Developed in close consultation with Aunty Lynn, a proud Dharug Elder from the Barramattagal clan, and with guidance from the Yarramundi AECG, the initiative offers a structured and culturally respectful approach to embedding Aboriginal perspectives across key learning areas.
