Principal's message
At Charlestown South Public School, every child is known, valued, and supported to “Strive with Honour”. We are proud to be a place of educational excellence, where high expectations and genuine care go hand in hand. Our classrooms are shaped by expert, evidence-based teaching. Through explicit instruction, students are guided with clarity and purpose, ensuring every child engages, understands and succeeds.
Beyond the classroom, students are encouraged to explore their talents and passions. From sport and creative arts to outdoor learning, leadership, and cultural experiences, we provide a world of opportunities that build confidence and character. Charlestown South is a school where students feel safe, respected, and inspired. What sets us apart is the warm and trusting relationships that create a community where children love learning and are encouraged to be their best.
