**Position Information**:
Meadowbank Public School is located in the inner west of Sydney, NSW, on the traditional land of the Wallumedegal people.

Currently, our school serves a growing population of 700 students, with 88% of our students identified as EAL/D (English as an Additional Language or Dialect).

A second MC class will be established in 2025. Our support classes are formed based on assessed student needs, rather than a fixed provision, ensuring that support structures are integrated within the whole school setting.
