Kotara South is situated 7km south from the centre of Newcastle. We are surrounded by a variety of native flora and fauna in a peaceful bush setting and enjoy views of Newcastle and its surrounds. Our school population is around 240 students.
Â
Our mission is to provide a supportive learning community where each student is recognised as an individual and is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Â
Building the social, emotional and motivational capacity of our students is a focal point of our school and is embedded in all aspects of school life. The students at Kotara South Public School are tolerant, caring and accepting. We are proud to be able to successfully integrate students with special needs such as those who attend the Hearing Support Unit and Early Intervention class. Signed English is taught as a second language.
Â
The school encourages a sense of harmony and belonging. Parents are valued, are well informed, and actively participate in all aspects of school life whether it be canteen and classroom volunteer work, participation in special events or school evaluation and planning. The P & C are actively involved and enthusiastically support the school and its targets. An Out of School Hours (OOSH) operates within the school grounds.
