Our principal and staff

Welcome from our principal
Welcome to Kingswood Park Public School!
I’m delighted to introduce you to our vibrant school community located in Western Sydney. With a close-knit enrolment of around 200 students from Preschool to Year 6, we pride ourselves on providing a supportive and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.
At Kingswood Park, we are committed to working together—staff, students, and families—to inspire successful and engaged learners for life. We have a strong focus on explicit and differentiated teaching, especially in literacy and numeracy, supported by targeted programs and ongoing professional learning for our teachers. Our school celebrates diversity, with nearly half of our students identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and many from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. We are proud to offer tailored support through specialist classes and community partnerships to meet every student’s needs.
We warmly invite you to explore our school, connect with our dedicated team, and consider joining our welcoming community. Together, we can help your child grow and succeed.
