About this job
Position Information
Kendall Public School, positioned on the picturesque Mid North Coast of NSW (30km south of Port Macquarie), is committed to delivering outstanding learning experiences within a supportive and caring environment. With an enrolment of 198 students—24% identifying as Aboriginal—the school fosters an inclusive, inspiring, and dynamic learning atmosphere. Our school places strong emphasis on student growth and attainment through evidence-based Explicit Teaching Practices, High Potential Gifted Education (HPGE), Student Voice, and promoting Equity in Excellence.
Kendall Public School’s socio-economic background, as measured by the Family Occupation and Education Index (FOEI) of 108, informs whole-school strategies for equity and support. The Multi-Categorical Support Class, established in 2020, further enriches the school’s inclusive education approach. Through its partnership with the Camden Haven Community of Schools, the school broadens learning opportunities available to both students and staff.
Our students benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including Sport, Creative and Performing Arts, and HPGE, providing pathways for excellence and personal growth. The school’s reviewed and implemented whole-school wellbeing processes, particularly Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL), ensure all students connect, succeed, thrive, and learn.
Developing community partnerships at Kendall Public School continue to be a priority in our School Improvement Plan in order to achieve a sense of connectedness and belonging throughout the community. As such, the school is proudly supported by an active P&C who collaboratively work with staff, parents and the broader Kendall community, and the Hastings Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG) to support all learners.
