Uralla Central School, situated 25km from Armidale in the New England region of NSW, is a proudly public, rural and coeducational school catering for students from K-12. Public education has played a role in the Uralla community since 1862 and we have been on our current site since 1868. The school has approximately 347 students including 28% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Uralla Central School provides a quality education that offers inclusive, relevant and integrated curriculum; high quality educational programs across the full range of academic ability; a variety of Vocational Education Training (VET) and School Based Apprenticeship and Traineeship (SBAT) opportunities; and quality creative and performing arts, co-curricular, sporting and student wellbeing programs.
A compressed HSC delivery model was introduced in 2015 which broadens and strengthens school curriculum, and increases its relevance for students. The school enjoys strong and effective links between parents, carers and the wider community. In late 2019 the school purchased the Canvas Learning Management System which has been progressively rolled out in 2020.
The school community embraces innovation and forward-thinking vision, and in 2016 completely restructured the school organisation and executive roles. Faculties were abolished. Heads of School now oversee the Junior (K-4), Middle (5-8) and Senior School (9-Academy II). The remaining executive oversee Wellbeing and Administration & Organisation. The Deputy Principal role encompasses responsibilities across the K-12 continuum. As a school community we expect everyone to ‘Stand tall and walk proud.’
