About our school

Kearns Public School was established in 1992.  We originally shared the Robert Townson Public School site whilst our school was being completed.  Kearns Public School has continued to grow and change to meet the needs of our students.

Our school has a dedicated and professional staff committed to the total well-being of all students in an environment of inclusiveness. Teachers respond to the needs of all students within the framework of best teaching practices. These principles are supported by the community who are provided with a range of opportunities to be involved in the life of the school.

With its many first class facilities including a spacious library/computer lab, internet and computer access to all students, covered play areas, healthy food canteen and its aesthetically inviting grounds, Kearns P.S. is an inviting learning environment.  The school's balanced curriculum provides students with the opportunity to excel and grow in a range of areas including Public Speaking, Sport, Creative Arts and academic pursuits.

A range of quality programs is offered which will enhance the learning of all students and equip them with the skills necessary to grow into mature and productive young adults.

The purpose of Kearns Public School is to; actively engage students in their learning, recognise and take pride in achievements, be positive and caring and work in partnership with the community. This will be achieved through; a staff who are committed to continual professional development, a supportive, cohesive and motivated staff; students who are self disciplined, responsible and caring, curriculum which is current, flexible and relevant, a focus on the education continuum K-12 and a community which has trust, confidence and pride in public education at Kearns Public School. The above features embody the spirit and culture of Kearns Public School.
