Teacher - Rouse Hill Public School

Rouse Hill Public School is located in the rapidly growing North West region of Sydney. The current student enrolment of 935, including a Support Unit consisting of one Multi-Category and three Autism classes, has increased considerably over the past two years and will continue to do so due to extensive development within our enrolment boundary.

Rouse Hill Public School enjoys a strong relationship with its interested and active P&C Committee.
