A number of private and public schools in Sydney’s inner-city suburbs have provided primary education for Aboriginal people.
Darlington Public School was established in 1878, moving to new premises on Abercrombie Street in 1975. It has educated primary school age children living in Chippendale, Darlington, Redfern and Waterloo since its establishment. Today, the school’s curriculum is aimed at Aboriginal students living in these suburbs.
