Welcome to our school!

At Merrylands East, students are provided opportunities to develop the skills, capabilities and knowledge that are necessary to be successful in a globalised and highly digital society. Our students are encouraged to become active global citizens.

We are committed to expanding your child’s educational experiences through innovative and creative learning that is relevant and authentic.

Our students thrive by learning anytime, anywhere and with anyone.

The new safe and respectful schools posters

This term, our school is part of an initiative to strengthen respect for all our students and staff. The Addressing Occupational Violence campaign is being launched with posters that remind everyone to always treat our students and staff with kindness and respect, and that aggressive behaviour of any type will not be tolerated at school.

We value our partnerships with you to support every student to learn, grow, and belong. It is up to us – the school and the parent-body - to be good respectful role models to our students. Together, we can create a safe and harmonious environment for our students and staff 

Please join us in supporting this work to create a positive change. Check out the new posters at school and if you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please make contact with the principal.
