Jindabyne Public School is situated in an expanding population area. While the winter tourist industry is still predominant, all year tourism is gaining in importance for the area's economy.
The ensuing growth trend has had a significant influence on the development of the school community. Recent census statistics indicate that there is a larger proportion of young families in the area than is found statewide. Approximately sixty-seven per cent of students live in outlying rural areas including the ski resorts of Charlotte's Pass, Thredbo and Perisher Valley.
The school community has high expectations for the school and its students. Staff also have high expectations for student achievement and behaviour. This is reflected in the positive way in which students represent the school in all fields of endeavour.
The school mission statement, revised in 2000 by the School Council, states: "Jindabyne Public School has high expectations and goals for all learners. In providing opportunities for students to develop and excel socially, emotionally, academically, physically and environmentally there is an expectation that parents, teachers, students and community will work together in an harmonious environment to achieve excellence".
