At Kensington Public School we are committed to empowering every student with the knowledge and skills required to achieve their full potential across all aspects of academic, social, emotional and physical learning.
At the foundation of all school practices and procedures are our core values: Knowledge, Honour and Community which are proudly nreflected within the diversity of school programs operating at Kensington Public School.
There are currently 451 students enrolled in our school and 71% are students from Language Backgrounds Other than English (LBOTE).
The school enjoys an excellent reputation in the community, with a record of high academic success in both mainstream and cross- curriculum achievements. We are a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) school where students take ownership of their actions and are proud members of the school community.
An extensive enrichment program operates in the fields of music, public speaking, debating and the performing arts. Effective integration of ICT into teaching and learning programs, with the use of laptops, tablet technology, 3D Printing, Digital Literacy and Lego Robotics opportunities allows our students to engage in collaboration and innovative design processes.
Community Language Programs include Modern Greek and Chinese and play a pivotal role in developing understandings of Greek and Chinese language and culture. Our student body is supported by an active parent community in many diverse ways, including donations of time, resources, parent-initiated programs, support of staff and the organisation of learning programs.
The dedicated staff is committed to providing a positive, inclusive and caring learning environment for every student.
We recognise students as individuals and actively encourage all learners to be resilient, critical and creative thinkers who effectively collaborate, communicate and build positive relationships with others.
We provide rich and supportive learning environments designed to provide our students with opportunities to develop the technological skills required to participate successfully in our global community.
Our students are taught by outstanding teachers with high expectations who model a commitment to life-long learning and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Strong partnerships between teachers, students and parents are essential in achieving an inclusive, culturally-rich and nurturing learning environment that prepares students to be active, responsible citizens and future-focused learners.
