Stories and highlights

Each year, NAIDOC Week is a special celebration at Darlington Point Public School — a time for our students, staff, and community to come together in recognition of the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The image featured here is a meaningful artwork created by Amarni, a former DPPS student, who painted it especially for our school. Her artwork beautifully reflects the connection between our school, our community, and the rich Wiradjuri Country on which we learn and grow.

NAIDOC Day is always a highlight of our school year — filled with learning, storytelling, music, and shared experiences that deepen our respect and understanding of culture and Country.

Education Week is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate learning, growth, and community at Darlington Point Public School. Our annual assembly showcases the achievements of our students and highlights the incredible work happening in classrooms every day.

This year, we were also proud to welcome families and grandparents into our school to share in the celebration. Grandparents Day gives students the chance to show their loved ones around, participate in classroom activities, and reflect on how education connects generations.

It’s always a joyful occasion filled with smiles, performances, and pride — a true reminder that learning is at the heart of our community.

Book Week is one of the most colourful and creative days at Darlington Point Public School. Students and staff dress up as their favourite book characters, celebrate stories that inspire a love of reading, and share the joy of imagination and learning together.

Thisyear, our talented students take to the stage as part of the Riverina’s Kids Rapt On Performing (KROP) showcase. Through dance, drama, and song, they share their creativity and confidence while representing Darlington Point Public School with pride. It’s always a highlight of the year, celebrating the joy of performance and the power of teamwork.

At DPPS, we might be small, but we’re always ready to make a big difference! From sausage sizzles and raffles to themed days and community events, our students, staff, and families come together to raise money for great causes. It’s a wonderful way to teach generosity, teamwork, and community spirit.

Sport is an important part of life at Darlington Point Public School. From weekly sport and PSSA events to carnivals and gala days, our students show great sportsmanship, teamwork, and school pride. Whether it’s on the field, in the pool, or at the track — we always give our best and cheer each other on!
