Welcome to Stockton Public School! Established in 1861, our school is proudly located on the north side of Newcastle harbour. We provide a nurturing environment for children from Preschool through to Year 6, and we are dedicated to supporting every student and teacher in their journey of learning and growth. At Stockton Public School, we set high expectations and prioritize explicit teaching strategies to build strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, ensuring that every student's individual potential is nurtured with quality instruction in every classroom.
We are proud of the wide range of academic, extracurricular, and sporting opportunities available to our students. With a rich sporting tradition, we offer various additional experiences, including a biennial whole school performance, a student representative council, and engaging lunchtime clubs like bucket drumming and gardening.
At Stockton Public School Preschool we provide a warm nurturing environment which is centred around play-based learning and the Early Years Learning Framework. The preschool believes in the education of the whole child. We encourage all children to “be themselves”, to feel a sense of “belonging” and to develop skills throughout the year to “become” successful learners and creative individuals.
Our school values strong partnerships with our entire community, fostering open and trusting relationships that support the wellbeing and success of every student. We work closely with parents, local businesses, and the wider community to enhance learning opportunities. Parents are actively involved in school activities, contributing to a vibrant and inclusive school culture. Our dedicated P&C plays a vital role in achieving our school's goals through open collaboration. We also enjoy valuable partnerships with Orica and Port Waratah Coal, who generously support our school by funding improvements, programs, initiatives, and scholarships.
We look forward to working together with you to make your child’s experience at Stockton Public School a positive and enriching one!
