Morpeth Public School
Morpeth Public School with a currrent enrolment of 178 students was established in 1862 and holds a unique place in a semi-rural area north-west of Newcastle about 2km from the city centre of Maitland. Proud traditions established over many generations continue to be nurtured and maintained by experienced and caring staff and supportive parents. 'Strive to Excel' is the school's motto. Morpeth Public School has an established reputation for meeting the needs of all students including those with high support needs, talented and gifted children and those with special learning needs, and is committed to providing the best possible educational experiences for our students to achieve their personal best. Our students are actively encouraged to behave cooperatively, to respect the rights of others and to give their best. Quality educational programs across all curriculum areas are presented in attractive and stimulating learning environments. A wide range of opportunities for our students to participate in sport, debating, public speaking, music, dance and drama ensures an appropriate balance in the curriculum.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
