Port Kembla Public School
Port Kembla Public School sits in an idyllic coastal environment overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Our school values are "Respect, Responsibility and Resilience" and our students and staff work towards these values every day. The school has an enrolment of 280 students including an Indigenous population of 10%. It was established in 1890 and is now at its fifth site. Our school meets the community's high expectations through quality learning programs delivered by committed staff. Differentiated learning occurs in our mainstream classes throughout the school to cater for the individual learning needs of our students. Programs are adapted and needs based so that all students have opportunities to participate in all aspects of school life. Our pleasant outdoor play areas promote active lifestyles and healthy mindsets. Our permaculture garden is proudly maintained by a dedicated group of students and community members and is an integral part of our close allegiance within the Warrawong Community of Schools. Students are provided with regular opportunities to develop their talents and interests in all areas. With extensive participation in school based technology programs, district sporting associations and regional creative and cultural opportunities, our students are being well prepared for their future lives in today's society.
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.
