Celebrating 38 years of Polish Language, Culture & Community at NSPS

Established in 1988, North Shore Polish School is dedicated to fostering a vibrant Polish cultural community in Sydney. Many of our former students’ children are now students themselves, because we prioritise small classes to ensure personalised attention and meaningful connections.
Our experienced teachers and our approach helps children develop confidence in speaking, reading and writing in Polish while embracing the rich traditions and community values that make our school a special place. We believe that strong cultural roots contribute to lifelong learning. |
