Ariah Park Central School is located on the lands of the Wiradjuri people in the Riverina region of New South Wales. It is a rural K-12 school of 150 students who are drawn from the village of Ariah Park (population 493), nearby towns and the surrounding farmlands. The latest census data show the main areas of employment are agricultural industries. Trend data shows that enrolments in the school have been slowly increasing over the last decade. We have a small proportion of students who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and smaller group of students identify as English as an Additional Language or Dialect.
Ariah Park Central School is part of the Riverina Access Partnership, one of five access programs that run in NSW. The Riverina Access Partnership provides a shared curriculum for senior secondary students across six central schools that deliver Year 11 and 12 studies across all six participating schools. The cohorts of students interact with each other and their teachers through virtual and collaborative technologies. This enables rural students to complete their secondary education at their local school, with the support of their community, without having to live away from home. The school also cooperates with nearby Barellan Central School and Ardlethan Central School to deliver elective and VET courses across Year 9 and 10. Students also access VET programs delivered by TAFE NSW.
The school has excellent facilities which include well maintained grounds and playground. The school has a comprehensive library and very high levels of technology for student learning. All classrooms are fitted with quality learning equipment and every student from K-12 has access to a school laptop.
The school is supported by its stakeholders.
