We at Pambula Public School, acknowledge the Thaua people as the traditional custodians of the Yuin Nation upon which we support each other to live and learn. We pay our respects to the Elders of the past, present and future and acknowledge their spiritual connection to Country.
Our History, Your History, My History
Pambula Public School, previously known as Pambula National School, welcomed its first students on July 23, 1849. It holds the distinction of being the seventh public school in New South Wales and was originally situated on the scenic Pambula River Flats. In its storied history, the school has undergone two relocations, eventually settling in its current location in 1907, perched on a hill overlooking its previous sites and the enchanting Pambula river flats.
Pambula Public School is proud to be the fourth oldest continuously operating public school in NSW.
As we move towards celebrating 175 years of Pambula Public School in 2024, we look forward to continuing to add to this website to share our history!
