Hoxton Park Public School is a dynamic learning community which focuses on the explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy, and where students are known, valued and cared for. Students are involved in authentic learning experiences which allow them to transfer skills to real world problems. Teaching staff are led by an experienced leadership team who are committed to the provision of equity, ensuring we work with parents and carers for what is best for their children. Our students are supported in the classroom and playground by trained SLSOs (teacher’s aides). We have a Stage 3 needs-based class that caters for gifted and talented students in years 5 and 6, who are extended through learning experiences facilitated by a highly experienced teacher of high potential and gifted students.
The Learning Hub/library is staffed by a specialist teacher where the focus is on coding, robotics and developing the skills of information research. Students utilise the facilities of the school’s Podcast Room for communication to the student body, developing specific skills for students.
Hoxton Park Public School offers an elite dance program delivered by a specialist dance consultant as part of our commitment to the performing arts. Our school and community dance groups regularly perform at district, regional and state dance festivals, Schools Spectacular and the NSW Primary Principals’ Association’s annual state conference.
The Hoxton Park Public School Debate Team is coached by teaching staff with support from a highly experienced, specialist debating coach.
Knowing that schools are hubs of their communities, we re-established the Hoxton Park Community Hub. The Hub Leader sources programs for parents, carers and members of the community; gaining funding through Club grants; and responding to community needs on a wide range of matters, referring people to services where necessary. Parent and student volunteers run a Breakfast Club three days a week which every student can access. Supported by Liverpool City Council and Community Hubs Australia, the Hub is provided with many donations from companies such as Bunnings and Speedo, and Foodbank provides food for our Breakfast Club.
Our Culture Club provides opportunities for Aboriginal students to learn about culture. The bush garden is a proud feature of our school and is maintained by the students. Bush tucker is used by students in cooking in our student kitchen.
Hoxton Park Public School is free from school fees.
