Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
“Welcome to Hoxton Park Public School, a vibrant and student-focused learning community where every child is known, valued, and supported to thrive. We prioritise explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy alongside authentic, real-world learning experiences that empower students to transfer skills beyond the classroom. Our experienced leadership team, dedicated teachers, and trained SLSOs foster an inclusive environment, championing equity and wellbeing for all students and working closely with parents and carers to ensure the best outcomes.
We proudly offer a range of High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) programs and opportunities across the curriculum that challenges and extends our gifted learners through tailored, stimulating experiences facilitated by expert staff. Alongside academic excellence, we prioritise student wellbeing, providing a safe, caring space where emotional, social, and mental health are nurtured and supported by skilled teachers.
At Hoxton Park Public, we understand the importance of strong partnerships between school, families, and the wider community. Together, we collaborate to create enriching opportunities and a welcoming atmosphere where every voice is heard and respected. We invite you to join us in building a connected, dynamic community dedicated to empowering our students to thrive as confident, compassionate lifelong learners.”
