History of our school
Macquarie Fields Public School was founded in 1957. In our foundation year there were 277 stduents enrolled. Charles Walker was the principal of Macquarie Fields Public School from 1957 until 1967. Charles is remembered by many ex-students as their 6th grade teacher. He is described as a gentle, patient man with a wondeful smile. His students can still recite his favourite saying: If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Grace, Charles' wife, also taught at the school.
