Marrickville West is a primary school with a strong commitment to providing quality education in a supportive and personalised environment. Marrickville West takes pride in its culturally diverse community. The school has an inclusive enrolment policy and strives to ensure that all students benefit from the professional "best practice" offered by its experienced team of teaching and educational support staff. Learning programs challenge and develop students at all levels and a strong student welfare policy ensures every child is given the necessary opportunity and support to reach their personal best.
Our school motto, 'Work As One' accurately describes the ethos that underpins our teaching philosophy and our commitment to quality public education. These words also provide a powerful message for students at Marrickville West, who are encouraged to develop their individual potential while learning to work together in a positive, productive and respectful way.
We invite you to visit Marrickville West and witness the friendly, energetic atmosphere for yourself. I am always happy to meet new members of the community and welcome the opportunity to show our wonderful school.
Marrickville West Public School was established in 1886 and is in one of Sydney's medium to high density housing areas with a mixture of public, private and rental accommodation. The school's statement of purpose is that 'we work as one to provide quality equitable education in a caring and supportive environment'. This statement reflects our commitment to ensure all students have equal access to the school's resources and that student welfare is a high priority.
