Welcome to Harrington Park Public School
Welcome to our website which I hope will
provide you with much information and understanding of our school.
We have commenced our 2011 school year with 830 students, and have 32
classes operating from Kindergarten to Year 6. Mr Krzysik, the
founding principal of our school, retired in 2008. He has worked hard
with the school community as a whole to establish a wonderful
school. It was my privilege to take up the position of principal in
2009.
Harrington
Park is a caring community
with a strong commitment to academic, cultural and sporting success.
Our aim is to build on the strong foundations that the school
community have built as we strive in partnership to make a good
school even better.
New families to the school continue to remark
on the warmth, care and welcome they feel as they join our school
community and importantly, they notice our clear commitment to
excellence for all. We all continue to work hard for this to happen.
Our Vision:
A caring school community focussing on
personal excellence for all by setting
high expectations and a commitment to individual students.
We extend to you a warm welcome to Harrington Park
Public School. Our
vision statement was developed in conjunction with the community and
all that we do reflects this statement.
Harrington
Park Public
School is a wonderful school and I hope,
a place where students, teachers and parents all like to be.
We try to stay fairly relaxed but our commitment to personal
excellence to all things remains our main focus.
At Harrington
Park we have tried to
capture the sense of community that prevails in the estate and it is
not uncommon to see older children looking out for the well-being of
the younger ones. We recognise that in a restricted area,
sometimes there will be friction between students. When this
occurs we deal with it quickly and fairly with the prime concern
being to help those children behaving inappropriately to change
their behaviour.
The essence of our school is reflected by our motto:
CARE (for others)
BELIEVE (in yourself)
SUCCEED (through effort)
We hope your child has a wonderful learning experience while at
Harrington
Park Public
School and we look forward to working
with them and you.
