Shoal Bay Public School is situated on the tip of the Tomaree Peninsula. It is a leisure and tourism area and many people are attracted to it because of lifestyle. Our purpose is that:
'At Shoal Bay Public School we work together with parents and community to: create a happy caring school environment; adopt a positive approach to all aspects of school through an effective reward system; develop children into responsible community members; emphasise the basic skills; cater for the physical, intellectual, social and emotional needs of each individual; create a happy, secure and harmonious atmosphere which will foster self-esteem; ensure children are aware of their rights and responsibilities; and to encourage interest in and concern for the environment.'
School Song
On the beautiful coast of Port Stephens
Where Currawongs herald the day.
Under headlands and deep among gum trees
The school that we care for, Shoal Bay.
Truth and honour is our aim,
Excellence through effort will remain.
And we'll be proud to say we're part of
Shoal Bay School.
