Denistone East Public School was established in 1950 in the suburb of Denistone East in Sydney, NSW. Affectionately known as Deno by its students, Denistone East is large state school that caters for 777 students and is one of the few state schools to have a swimming pool, much to the envy of the other schools and students in the general area. The background of the school's students is distinctly multicultural with many Eastern European and Asian students. The school was rebuilt in 2005 which gave the school new administrative, assembly and class room blocks. During rebuilding, Wednesday February 2nd, the new roof of the large new building on Lovell Road was pulled off during a storm. This was a major blow for the children as they had only occupied their new 'senior school' for 3 days. The damage was eventually repaired and the new building re-opened again a month later.

The school is bisected by Brabyn Street which runs east to west through the school grounds. Because of this, a section of Brabyn Street can be closed to vehicular traffic at various times of the day using a large set of boom gates[444], allowing students to cross without danger. Brabyn Street also features a Kiss and Ride zone[445] to allow students arriving by motor vehicle to be dropped off safely.

The school motto is We strive
