Cowra Public School was the first public school to be established in Cowra and has been educating children since 1858. The school's motto is "Knowledge is Power" and the emphasis is on giving every child, every opportunity, every day, to support them in reaching their full potential as individuals.

Cowra Public School provides comprehensive academic and student wellbeing programs, delivered by experienced and dedicated staff. Students have achieved results well above statistically similar school groups in reading and numeracy in ALL years from Years 3-6 and have been rated as EXCELLING in student growth for the past two years. A wide range of extra-curricular opportunities in sport, technology, public speaking, band, leadership, and the creative arts enable students to pursue their individual interests, through a variety of different learning experiences.

All students take part in Wiradjuri language and culture lessons, and the school has strong partnerships with the Cowra Local AECG and community Elders.

Cowra Public School is supported by an active P&C, as well as other school and community organisations including Learn 2 Communicate, Aurora College, Cowra High School, Operation Art, Food Bank and the Cowra Information and Neighbourhood Centre. These services work in collaboration with the school to enhance outcomes for all students and their families.
