About

Helensburgh lies between the main city centres of Sydney and Wollongong and is surrounded by National Park, bushland and beaches. Our township developed after coal was discovered in the area over 125 years ago.

Helensburgh Public School was opened in 1887 and is the most northern school in the area of the NSW coast known as the Illawarra region. Our school is focused on student wellbeing and evidence-based teaching in literacy and numeracy.
