Welcome from our principal
“At Governor Philip King Public School, we are dedicated to delivering a high-quality education for learners from Preschool (starting 2027) through to Year 6. Our passionate and experienced staff work tirelessly to create a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment where every student can flourish and achieve their full potential.
We provide an engaging learning environment that challenges and inspires our students to develop critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. We place great value on student voice and strong home-school-community partnerships. Our commitment is to ensure that every child receives the support and resources they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
We proudly celebrate the rich cultures and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, alongside our vibrant and diverse multicultural community. These values underpin everything we do, fostering respect, understanding, and a sense of belonging for all.
We invite you to explore our website to discover what makes Governor Philip King Public School a unique and inspiring place of learning.
