The Kelly's Plains Public School difference
A strong start
Our school is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every student feels welcomed, valued, and supported from their very first day. We ensure strong, tailored support systems are in place to meet the diverse needs of all learners, enabling them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally as they begin their educational journey with us.
Growth in the classroom and beyond
We offer tailored programs that cater to individual learning needs, incorporating Walker Learning and project-based learning approaches to support student engagement and nurture their interests.
Support for every family
Our teachers, along with our learning and wellbeing support teams, work closely with families and the Team Around the School to co-design personalised learning and support plans for every student. Together, we ensure each student receives the tailored guidance they need to learn in the way that works best for them.
