Cardiff South Public School is a welcoming, community school that offers a broad curriculum from Preschool to Year 6. We encourage our young people to aspire to high personal standards and to show respect for others and their environment. Our students benefit from belonging to a supportive school community. Close co-operation between parents and teachers is encouraged because we understand that home and school share a common purpose - the academic progress and personal development of each individual child. Our experienced staff provide a caring, nurturing environment in which students learn and grow. We believe that happy students are engaged learners. We strive to inspire our students to do their best and achieve their best. We value diversity and access to an inclusive, broad curriculum. We aim to develop independent learners and thinkers and actively promote student leadership through our school parliament, student leadership programs and our involvement in the Premier's Sport Leadership Program. Our community have given strong endorsement to our three year technology plan; our focus on improvement in aspects of literacy and numeracy; the development of fundamental movement skills to support life long involvement in sport; and building our talents and expertise in the Creative and Performing Arts. Our school implements a number of programs each year that provide additional opportunities for students. These include public speaking and debating, Premier's Reading Challenge, PSSA Sport, Premier's Sporting Challenge, Sport in Schools Australia, peer support, pre-school buddy program, 'Starting Big School', Transition to High School, Garbage Tin Band, Drumming and Didge Group, Starsruck and Hunter Dance.
