Kearsley Public School established in 1912, is on the lands of the Wonnarua, Darkinjung and Awabakal people. We are situated 5 kilometres east of Cessnock in the Hunter Valley.
The school has a family-orientated atmosphere and strong sense of community that is highly valued. The school fosters a culture of high expectations and respect. KPS is a place that ensures social equity and success through explicit and responsive instruction based on the Science of Learning, so that every student reaches their maximum potential.
There is a strong focus on our values of respect, responsibility and learning and Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is an integrated part of the school. The school provides students with high levels of access to technology and a range of cultural, creative, sporting and leadership opportunities.
The teaching staff is a mix of experienced and early career teachers who value teamwork and are committed to implementing evidence informed practices that are responsive to student needs. The leadership team provide all staff with high impact professional learning to build capacity and improve student outcomes.
Kearsley Public School works closely with the Cessnock Community of Great Public Schools (CCGPS) which consists of two high schools and thirteen primary schools to ensure each, and every student benefits by collectively utilising combined programs and resources.
