Gosford East P.S. is situated two kilometres from the C.B.D of Gosford in an established residential area. Our outstanding site is fully utilised by students for play, sport and environmental learning. Our school is known for its record of high achievement, of acceptance and tolerance. Our staff has a great empathy with the local community and works with parents to provide a safe, caring, environment where the school "culture" is conducive to ongoing improved learning outcomes for all students. A District Support Unit catering for students with physical needs and for students with a mild intellectual delay is a unique feature of our school. There are 35 students enrolled in three unit classes. Our challenge is always to lead the way in fostering an acceptance amongst all members in our community of difference. Gosford East Public School is creating its students' futures through learning. Our purpose is to teach students the skills, values and attitudes suited to Australian life today and to provide students with learning experiences which are suited to their stage of emotional, intellectual and physical development.
