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
Welcome to Cecil Hills Public School. We are a strong, dynamic learning community established in 2003 and cater for students from Kindergarten to year 6. We are a unique setting characterised by our strong community; our ability to provide a stimulating, engaging and challenging educational program for every student and our provision for a safe and happy learning environment where student well being is paramount.
At Cecil Hills we are committed to celebrating the uniqueness of the individual through the provision of an innovative and differentiated curriculum that provides all students the opportunity to achieve their best. Our aim is to not only see our students learn, but develop a love of learning, a passion that will stay with them for life.
We aim to create a learning environment where every individual is valued, children develop socially and academically, and relationships are characterized by care, compassion and a sense of responsibility. The core values of personal best, responsibility, tolerance and integrity are evident in every aspect of our educational programs.
Our students enjoy state of the art facilities and technology systems that complement outstanding teaching and learning programs. Apart from offering excellent programs in class to support development, our school also has a range of extra-curricular activities. The creative arts program offers students access to a large range of art, dance, skipping and musical programs. Although quite a young school we have a strong sporting history with representation across all codes of sport and high levels of success in individual sports such as athletics, swimming, cross country, tennis and golf.
We endeavour to continually strengthen our partnership between school and home. We have an excellent reputation within our community as a school where learning is enhanced and families feel they belong. For parents and community members our website is designed to be an up to date place for you to keep abreast of school happenings, locate that note or newsletter you missed, check the dates on the school calendar or order and purchase school uniforms.
I am proud to be Principal of Cecil Hills and am excited about the directions our school is taking into the future.
Believe and Achieve.
Yours Sincerely
Jason King
