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 to Kincumber Public School, where diversity, inclusion and belonging are embedded into our daily practice and equity and excellence are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to serve the community of one of the oldest schools on the Central Coast.

Our learners are supported to realise their individual potential in well-managed classrooms with teachers and learning support staff who personalise students’ learning journeys across the four domains of creative, physical, social-emotional and intellectual learning potential.

I invite you to explore our website to find out more about your local public school and look forward to you booking a school tour, led by our student leaders, to show off our beautiful setting at the foot of Kincumba Mountain.
