Newcastle East Public School

Newcastle East Public School is a public school located in the New South Wales town of Newcastle, Australia. It is the oldest continuously running school in Australia, established in 1816 by a convict on conditional pardon, Henry Wrensford. The current site of school, located in the suburb of Newcastle on the corner of Tyrrell and Brown Streets, dates back to 1878. The school site overlooks the Newcastle CBD, only two blocks west of the Christ Church Cathedral that housed the original school in its earliest years. This location provides students and teachers with ready access to the many services of the surrounding city such as museums and galleries, theatres, beaches and sporting fields, all of which are located within walking distance of the school. The school is surrounded by places of historical significance, such as the Lead Light Tower, the Obelisk, Christ Church Cathedral and many terrace houses. The Tyrrell Street school is now a site of historical significance in Australian education. It is of itself a building of heritage value that has been restored to its former glory, having housed education in many different guises. The Tyrrell Street school embodies a synthesis of the history of three of the most historically important schools in Newcastle; Newcastle East Public School, Newcastle Public School, Newcastle High School and their offshoots. in 2016, 200 years of history was celebrated by past students of Newcastle High School on the front lawn of Newcastle East Public School, notably with ex-Prime Minister Julia Gillard in attendance. The teachers, parents and children of Newcastle East Public School hold a colonial fair every two years to celebrate the history of the school and school site.
