Cronulla is a southern suburb
of Sydney and part of the Sutherland shire. Cronulla
South Public School is located along Ewos Parade on the
southern end of the Cronulla Peninsula. The Esplanade
is a short walk from the school and starts at South Cronulla
beach and loops along the Cronulla Peninsula. |
This walk takes in shady
parks with ocean and bay baths. The Bass and Flinders memorial
is on the southern tip of the Cronulla Peninsula and
makes for a superb lookout over the Port Hacking River across
to the Royal National Park. Nearby are local beaches which
are famous and popular surfing destinations. Further to the
north is the Kurnell peninsula. Part of Kurnell contains
324 hectares known as the Captain Cook landing place, a part
of the Botany Bay National Park.
Our school holds its Lapathon
at Shelly Beach, Cross Country Carnival at Gunnamatta Bay
and its Annual Picnic at Darook which are all within walking
distance. The local ferry service takes you across the Port
Hacking River to Bundeena and the Royal National Park.
Cronulla South Public School is part of the Port Hacking
network of schools, which is part of the Sydney Region of
the NSW Department of Education and Training. |
