The school is set amongst picturesque surroundings, with stunning flora and historic buildings providing the perfect backdrop for students to grow and learn. Nashdale has been fostering excellence since 1888.
We primarily serve a rural community of students from surrounding small farm holdings, vineyards and orchards. Some students also commute from the nearby city of Orange, travelling wither by bus or private vehicle. Nashdale welcomes students from outside the area where positions are available.
Our school and community embrace RIPE values - Respect, Integrity, Pride and Engagement. Our students are RIPE for learning.
We offer a comprehensive curriculum with a strong focus on academic excellence for all students. Instruction is focused on every student reaching or exceeding national standards. Our highly skilled staff provide a balanced, stimulating and caring atmosphere for all children to progress. Programs presented to students allow for individuality to develop through the provision of a stimulating and challenging curriculum with targeted opportunities to be extended or consolidated dependant of learning needs. This is balanced with a rich extra-curricular program.
All students build digital literacy using a wide range of technologies to support their learning. All classrooms utilise interactive whiteboards, Smart TV's, iPads and notebook computers in addition to a range of other peripherals and applications. The emphasis is upon using technology as an effective tool for learning.
We believe our strong partnership between staff, parents and the wider Nashdale community is key for our students to achieve at school and beyond.
