Rainbow Street Public School is a public school located in Randwick, New South Wales, Australia operated by the New South Wales Department of Education. [1] The school has 480 students and 34 staff,[ clarification needed ] and is in close proximity to the University of NSW, Prince of Wales Hospital and the Randwick Army Barracks. The school has a close liaison with Randwick Boys and Girls High Schools, as well as Rainbow Street Childcare Centre. [2]

Award-winning actor Russell Crowe attended the school. [3]

In 2011, the principal was forced to resign after parents moved a motion of "no-confidence" in her, something criticized as potentially creating a "precedent" by unions. [4]

In 2014, the state government announced plans to expand the school. [5]
