The current MKPS slogan is to "Grow in Knowledge". Our current aim is to grow in the knowledge of, and then to implement, evidence-based best practice: Best practice of teaching, of learning and of nurturing the potential of others. Through this, we will work together to develop all stakeholders to be willing, able and equipped for a life of continuous improvement.
Mount Kuring–gai Public School is located on the most northern ridge of the Hornsby Shire and offers a well–rounded and holistic education for all students within a nurturing and supportive environment. The school currently supports the learning of 173 students from Kindergarten to Year 6, including 28% from a non-English speaking background and five students from an Aboriginal background.
Mount Kuring–gai Public School plays a vital role in promoting the wellbeing and education of its students, and staff are committed to the provision of outstanding intellectual, social, creative and sporting programs aimed at ensuring all students have the opportunity to achieve their personal best in many areas. Literacy, numeracy and knowledge of key disciplines remain the cornerstone of schooling at MKPS, delivered within a school culture focused on the core values of respect, responsibility, resilience and personal best.
At Mount Kuring-gai Public School, we promote a culture of collaboration, inclusiveness and a commitment to excellence across the whole school, which is shared and supported by parents, carers, families and the broader community. The school has a strong focus on wellbeing with the aim of developing students with the personal resources, skills and abilities to lead full and happy lives. Staff have a strong commitment to improved practice with a particular focus on embedding evidence-based pedagogy and visible learning practices.
Mount Kuring-gai Public School is privileged to be on the land of the Guringai People and we are excited to build a relationship and learn more about the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, particularly that of our local area, so that we may honour them and their connection to land and water through our actions at school. We aim to incorporate authentic learning content and delivery within our teaching and learning practices.
