Arcadia Vale Public School promotes a caring and sharing environment which emphasises friendliness, safety, participation, and personal growth. The school seeks to ensure that the curriculum is balanced, demanding, rewarding, and enjoyable. Proficiency in basic literacy and numeracy is closely monitored. We aim to develop the whole person and encourage students to be life long learners; vital and enthusiastic people with strong citizenship skills. Our Student Representative Council is active in promoting respect for each other and sound personal values, encouraging positive involvement in the care of our school environment, and supporting a nominated charity of its choice through fund raising activities held throughout the year. Arcadia Vale's performing arts program and sports program develop self-esteem, confidence, and promote teamwork skills.
