The Congewai Public School difference
Small School Big Heart
As a small school, we are privileged to provide a unique experience for your child. They will be part of a close knit group of students who support one another while learning about diversity and inclusion.
A World Of Opportunities
We offer students a wealth of resources and opportunities to help them thrive. From STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths), arts, life skills and beyond, our broad curriculum and opportunities foster curiosity and critical thinking.
Support For Every Family
Our teachers and learning support team work with our families. We co-design plans that help students learn in the way that works best for them.
Welcome to Congewai Public School
Hidden away in the beautiful Congewai Valley, our school is a vibrant K-6 learning community in the Cessnock region.
Principal's message
I acknowledge the traditional land-owners, the Awabakal, Wonaruah and Darkinjung Peoples; those who have sustained this land; learned on and from this land for millennia; and those who continue to guide us in educating all children for a better future.
Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Congewai Valley, our small school offers a unique environment where student wellbeing, connection to nature, and deep learning go hand in hand.
For the beautiful surroundings - the mountains, the valleys and the waterways, I am ever grateful for the right to leave my footprint and I hope to do so gently.
We are dedicated to nurturing curious, compassionate, and confident learners through meaningful experiences in our natural bushland setting. Those who begin this educational journey with us, become part of a caring and connected community where every child is known, valued, and supported to thrive."
Melinda Stokes, Principal of Congewai Public School
