Rathmines Public School is a safe, welcoming and friendly school community in which all students are encouraged to aim high and to give of their best in all their endeavours. Learning is celebrated. Educational programs provide students of all abilities with the opportunity to engage in class programs and to experience success. Students with learning disabilities benefit from targeted support programs while extension activities are provided for gifted and talented students.
The school has three Special Eduction Support classes which cater for students with a range of physical and intellectual disabilties. The interaction between these students and those in mainstream classes is one of the most positive aspects of the school culture at Rathmines Public School.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is integrated into all classes with Interactive whiteboards and a class set of laptops for student use. Additionally, our Bring Your Own Device Program (BYOD) empowers learning across all classes in Year 3 to Year 6.
