Picton Public School is located approximately 70 km south west of Sydney and has served the local community for 100 years on the current site. Our strength is based on a dedicated, experienced staff, targeted academic and student welfare programs, in conjunction with great support from our local community.

Comprehension skills are seen as a vital element across all curriculum areas. Literacy, specifically through comprehension, is and area that has been highlighted as a focus within the school plan. Picton will have a whole school approach to this focus, looking at the mechanics of how comprehension and guided reading are taught within the classroom and how students transfer strategies to a variety of reading situations.

Each stage will start with a range of data, including Best Start, stage records and NAPLAN information.
