What we offer

Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.

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.

The canteen is open every Friday. Orders to be at the canteen before school.

Volunteers are always welcome.as this canteen is run totally by parents (P&C). Please see the office if you are able to spare some time.  

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.

Computers and technology

The Students at Bobs Farm has a high ratio of students to desk tops and laptops in each classroom. We have a network of computers that will meet the current and future needs of the school.

Students at Bobs Farm Public School have traditionally always had ready access to cutting edge technology due to our small student ratio to computers. We have computers located within all classrooms which gives students many opportunities in the use of technology.

Staff use professional learning funds to keep up to date with the latest technology to be used in the classrooms.

They are also given the freedom to develop their skills with regular access and encouragement to enter competitions such as Newcastle Writers Festival programs and Story Factory.
