Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
I am delighted to welcome you to Kearns Public School and extend a warm greeting to all new and returning families. We are proud to be a school where every child is known, valued, and supported to achieve their personal best.
Our aim is to create a learning environment that motivates, challenges, and inspires students academically, socially, and emotionally. We know student wellbeing is the foundation of success, and our positive education practices and caring relationships help every child feel safe, connected, and ready to learn.
This year holds great promise as we continue to set high expectations for learning and engagement. We value parent feedback and believe strong partnerships between students, staff, families, and our community are essential.
Throughout the year, we will host events that strengthen communication and connection between home and school. We encourage all parents and carers to take part, as your involvement enriches our community and supports student success.
Through engaging programs and community initiatives, we aim to nurture confident, capable young people who are ready to make a positive impact.
We look forward to welcoming you into our school community.
Rebecca Phillips, Principal of Kearns Public School
