Croydon Public School, founded in 1884, is located in a well established residential area in Sydney's inner west. A major reconstruction was undertaken in 1977, balancing the heritage aspect with the need for a modern teaching environment. The school community is diverse in terms of length of residency and cultural mix.
A number of families have attended the school for several generations. Local property redevelopment has led to an increased density of population and a corresponding increase in student population. Community and school expectations are high.
