Hurstville South Public School has an enrolment of over 500 students with 85% from Non-English speaking backgrounds. There are over 30 language backgrounds represented in our student body with 53% of these students from a Chinese background. 

Our whole school Mandarin cultural program includes Languages other than English (LOTE) for non-native Chinese speakers and Community Languages other than English (CLOTE) for native Chinese speakers. 

Our dedicated staff are committed to using evidence based practices to maximise student outcomes in all learning areas. This is demonstrated by the high growth scores our students achieve in literacy and numeracy assessments. 

Students who need additional support in literacy and / or numeracy benefit from an established learning support program which includes a Learning Support Teacher and English as an Additional Language or Dialect teachers (EaLD). 

Students can access a wide range of activities including band, choir, dance, sport, public speaking and film making.
