Kemps Creek Public School is a school with around 180 students situated approximately 25 kilometres west of Liverpool. It is centred between the cities of Liverpool, Penrith and Camden in a semi-rural area. The nearest public school is seven kilometres away. The school is situated on approximately three hectares of land, set in a delightful bushland setting of the remaining Cumberland Plain with pockets of native bush on either side. Our school has excellent facilities and is surrounded by attractive, landscaped grounds. The Cross Street section of the site has been developed over the years with gardens, grassed areas and trees, providing a safe and enjoyable play area for students. The Kemps Creek area has no main public transport links with major town centres. We have a well-resourced library incorporating state-of-the-art technology. Our well-equipped hall supports our successful music and sports programs. The school's mission statement is 'to achieve quality education which will equip each student to take a responsible role in society, through a staff and community committed to sound educational practices, in a positive environment'. We achieve this through Courses of Study developed to suit the needs of pupils in the school: a) Academically - through the six key learning areas; b) Socially - through suitable school and class organisation and arrangements through a variety of subjects and activities such as organised games, dancing, singing, musical performances, physical education and sport, etc.; c) Culturally - through music, poetry, art, craft, drama and language; and d) Physically - through games, sport, dance, drama, gross motor and the development of manipulative skills.
