About this school, from public sources
Publicly available information, including the school's own website and a 2022 ACT Education Directorate review, describes Narrabundah Early Childhood School as a public early-childhood setting for children from pre-birth to Year 2, drawing families from across Canberra rather than a set catchment. It runs preschool through Year 2 classes, including a Koori Preschool, and a Bush School program at the nearby Narrabundah Wetlands. On-site partnerships provide childcare, maternal and child health, and family support services alongside schooling. The 2022 review noted parents were satisfied with how the school builds children's resilience, independence and confidence.
