How to interact with our page

Adamstown Public School encourages interaction from Facebook users but is not responsible for comments made by visitors to the page. Comments posted may also not reflect the opinions or procedures of Adamstown Public School. We ask that comments on the page show respect for other users by ensuring discussions remain civil especially since Facebook allows individuals 13 years and over to join.

We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to remove comments that are racist, sexist, abusive, profane, violent, obscene, SPAM, that advocate illegal activity, contain falsehoods or are widely off topic, or that libel, incite, threaten or make attacks on Adamstown Public School students, employees, guests or other individuals. We also do not permit messages selling products or promoting commercial, political or other ventures unless these companies have provided paid sponsorship to our school and we are advertising their contribution. Tagging or naming student photos
Photos of students are posted with reference to Department of Education publishing permission forms, completed on enrolment and other parent permission forms. For privacy and protection, please do not tag photos of children, and please do not name them in your comments. On rare occasions and with parental permission, students may be named by the school Facebook Administration Team. Tagging of parents or friends within the comment box is permitted with the understanding that all other rules of engagement are followed. Friending Staff on Facebook
Please note that the Department of Education has this advice for teachers: ‘Friending’ parents and carers on Facebook: “the line between your professional and personal life could become blurred making it difficult to manage your professional relationship with parents when that becomes necessary. You also needed to bear in mind that becoming a Facebook friend with a parent could result in a child getting access to your account as well. You also need to be mindful that you need to be careful what you say on Facebook if you have parents as friends as comments made online can be misunderstood and could result in parental complaints made to your Principal.” In short, please do not ask to friend a member of staff on Facebook as refusal may offend.

⚽️🏆 REGIONAL QUARTERFINAL VICTORY! 🏆⚽️
What a performance from our Adamstown Public School girls football team today! 💚💛⚽️
The girls took on a strong Wallsend South Public School side in their Regional Quarterfinal and showed plenty of skill, determination and teamwork from the opening whistle.
Adamstown controlled the early possession and opened the scoring through Shae, before Dillan doubled our lead to make it 2–0. Wallsend South lifted their intensity and managed to pull one back, making it 2–1.
Deep into the first half, Shae found the back of the net again to restore our two goal advantage and send Adamstown into the break leading 3–1.
The second half was a tough, scrappy battle, with both teams fighting hard and neither able to create any significant chances. Our girls held strong, defended brilliantly and showed incredible composure to see out the game and secure a fantastic 3–1 victory! 👏👏
🎉 Adamstown are through to the Regional Semi Finals! 🎉
A huge congratulations to all of our players on an outstanding team effort. We are incredibly proud of the way you represented Adamstown today, playing with skill, resilience and, most importantly, supporting one another right until the final whistle. 💚💛
A big thank you to our families and supporters who continue to get behind the team! 👏
📅 We’ll share further information with families about the Regional Semi Final date and game schedule as soon as everything is confirmed.
Go Adamstown! 💚💛⚽️

What a week it has been at Adamstown Public School! 💛🐸💚
After a week filled with so many wonderful moments celebrating public education, it seems only fitting that we wrap it up by recognising the person who leads our school with such care and dedication - our wonderful principal, Mrs Stothard.
This week saw our school community come together for our NAIDOC Week celebrations, the very special opening of Uncle John’s Yarning Circle, and our open classrooms on Friday afternoon. Amongst all of these celebrations, we were also very proud to celebrate Primary Principals Day on Friday.
Mrs Stothard was treated to a morning tea, flowers, cards and, most importantly, many beautiful words of appreciation from students, staff, Adamstown PS P&C and members of our community.
After sharing so many posts showcasing the amazing things happening across our school this week, we couldn’t think of a better way to finish than with this gorgeous video created by Mr Carter with the help of many students to say a very special thank you.
We appreciate everything you do!💛💚

💛💚What a wonderful way to celebrate Public Education Week with our Open Classrooms! 📚🏫
It was fantastic to welcome our parents and community members into classrooms to experience learning alongside our students. From being challenged to complete Department of Education themed trivia 🤔📖, to battling it out in Parents vs Kids Pictionary 🎨✏️, there were plenty of opportunities to test knowledge and have some fun!
Parents bravely took on multiplication challenges✖️➗, attempted to recreate respiratory system diagrams 🫁🔬, and even joined their youngest learners in play-based learning 🧸🧩🎲.
A huge thank you to our families and community for getting involved, embracing the challenges and experiencing firsthand the learning, creativity and curiosity that happens in our classrooms every day! 👨👩👧👦❤️📚

🤩What could a ninja possibly have in common with 3/4S? Mastery! Both understand that achieving excellence requires focus, determination, and practice. Our 3/4S mathematicians have been training like ninjas, sharpening their multiplication and division skills through the Maths Ninja Belt Challenge. 🧮As they work towards mastering multiplication fact families, students are building fluency, confidence and agile problem solving abilities. These highly skilled mathematicians have trained with time trials, explicit lessons and fun factor games to learn about factors, products, inverse relationships and the secret connection between multiplication and division. Through teamwork🤗, hands-on challenges and dedicated practice, our mathematicians are developing lightning fast recall of multiplication facts and unlocking the deeper thinking behind every equation. Their maths skills are truly becoming ninja level!✨🌟
