Mount Keira Public School

Mount Keira Demonstration School is a small and established primary school that has proudly served the Mount Keira community for 153 years. The school prides itself on providing a welcoming, nurturing and supportive environment for all of our children and families. Our school motto is "learning and caring". Standing proudly at the base of Mount Keira, nestled by rainforest and overlooking the ocean, our school is surrounded by natural beauty. Our sandstone school building, original bell, "history room" and magnificent pine tree symbolise the heritage that is so highly valued by our school community. Our beautiful gardens and spacious outdoor learning areas, combined with our warm and inviting classrooms ensure a quality and stimulating learning environment. The elements of quality teaching and inquiry-based learning principles are embedded in teaching and learning practices. Student learning is showcased each term through the completion of Rich Tasks. Our school treasures our passionate and supportive wider community - encompassing our P & C, broad parent body and local community members, including Aboriginal Elders. Our parent body is highly engaged in and supportive of their child's education. Mount Keira Demonstration School is deeply committed to the mentoring and development of pre-service teachers through our strong links with the University of Wollongong. The school is proud of the Demonstration Program that is co-ordinated annually through our school. It is our engaged and motivated learners, committed and compassionate staff and supportive and active wider community that ensures Mount Keira Demonstration School delivers high quality teaching and learning programs in a warm and supportive learning environment.
