Mawarra Public School is situated in an attractive environment of 2.6 hectares overlooking the rich alluvial flood plain of the Nepean River adjacent to the town of Camden.
"Mawarra" is an Aboriginal word for "a most pleasant place". We have a proud tradition of providing experiences for our students in School Band, Senior Choir, Junior Choir, Sport and Public Speaking/Debating.
The school has an excellent Student Welfare program and an active Learning Support Team. Our facilities include a multi-purpose hall for performances, assemblies and gymnastics.
We promote positive playground behaviour through a social skills program, teaching special playground games and a focus on our Anti-Bullying Policy. We offer before and after school care.
Mawarra is proud of an excellent literacy program K-6 that begins with guided reading in the early years then leading onto "Reading Counts" (Lexiles) in the primary years. "Count Me In Too" is an important part of our Number programs K-6.
Our mission is to ensure that students achieve personal excellence. This is achieved through: quality teaching; quality learning; and a happy, caring and secure environment.
At Mawarra, we have a very interested and informed school community who provide enormous support to the school through its Parents and Citizens' Association, Canteen Committee and many classroom helpers.

School song
1. Here we stand now to sing of Mawarra,
Where the people are young and free,
Where we strive in our daily endeavour,
To let our light shine out for all to see.
Chorus:
Let your light shine, let your light shine,
Let your light shine out for all to see,
Let your light shine, let your light shine,
Let it shine for you and me.
2. A most pleasant place is Mawarra,
Where we grow as the grapes once grew,
Where we learn and prepare for the future,
And we strive to serve in all we do.
