Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.
Before and After School Care
We know that access to high quality before, after and vacation care is essential for many parents of our school community. At North Ryde Public School we use Team Kids, a well-regarded specialist provider of out-of-school-hours (OoSH) care.

Uniforms
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:
meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
is appropriate for the full range of school activities
is suitable for all body shapes.
Learn more about the NSW Department of Education’s School Uniform Policy.
Canteen
All canteens in NSW public schools must meet certain requirements. These include providing more healthy food and drink options – to make the healthy choice an easy choice for students. Visit Healthy school canteens to learn more.
A limited canteen service is offered by the school. For current details refer to the school newsletter.
