The Howlong Public School difference
A strong start
Howlong Public School is a dynamic progressive school with a focus on improving literacy and numeracy for our students. We help every child feel safe, included and ready to learn from their very first day.
Growth in the classroom and beyond
We provide our students with a diverse selection of subjects and opportunities, enabling them to grow, build skills, and explore their interests.
Support for every family
Our school helps families by having our learning and wellbeing support team work closely with parents and caregivers to co-design personalised plans that meet individual student needs.
