WELCOME

Douglas Park Public School is situated in South-West Sydney. It is a small school set in a rural environment at the foot of the Razorback mountain range. Students learn in a caring and supportive environment where teachers are committed to providing a quality education across all key learning areas. There are 133 students currently enrolled at Douglas Park PS. 

We have 6 classes across Kindergarten to Year 6, where students are cared for on an individual basis. At Douglas Park PS we offer an extensive range of academic, social and sporting opportunities. There is a long and distinguished tradition of sporting achievements and students are encouraged to participate in a variety of sporting gala days across the district.

Our camping program is also one of the many great things we do at Douglas Park PS. We offer a variety of camps across Years K-6 throughout each year.

The Parents and Citizens Association meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm. We have a very supportive community of parents who are actively involved in all aspects of school life.

Douglas Park Public School was established in 1883 and located on Spaniards Hill almost 2 kms from the present site. The current site was occupied in 1923. The wooden building, still in use, was the first building on site. The village and the school are named after Dr H.G. Douglass, an early resident of the area. A cartographer's error resulted in Douglass being spelt with one "S". 

The school badge is based on three pioneering families. The shape - A Spaniard's Helmet. The bird -    a Major Mitchell Cockatoo. The school motto - Jamais arriere. French, meaning (literally) "Never behind/backward". Translation " Look to the future". It was the motto of the Douglass family.
