Campsie Public School is situated in the central business district of the city of Canterbury. It is becoming known as a learning hub of the community where students and their families are empowered to achieve success. The learning culture focuses on a developmental and outcomes approach to learning and teaching through learning how to learn; learning how to find information and thinking laterally; through problem posing and problem solving in applied situations. Learning together for life through teamwork and the pooling of knowledge and skills underpins the strength of good character of our students.
School song
Our school is one we are proud of
So now let's sing out aloud of
All the values taught to us
Tolerance truth and trust
Though we come from many nations
Still we share in good relations
And together grow and learn at
Campsie School
May we reach for goals that are high
For to fail is not to try
And in sport to play the game
This shall be our aim
When our childhood is behind us
May our memories always remind us
Of the values we have learnt
At Campsie School
School hours
The school day begins with a number of optional before school activities from 8:15-8:45am, including Reading Club and Computer Club. Students in years 3-6 go straight to class at 8:50am. Each day begins for students in K-2 at 8:50am with a morning assembly for students and the community. This is a very important time, as this is when students listen to vital daily messages, with music signalling for the children to line up on their class lines, and wait for the teacher to begin the assembly. Students are in class, ready to begin lessons by 9am. School finishes at 3pm. K-2 students must be picked up from the child's class teacher at this time. Students in Grades 3-6 are dismissed from their classrooms.
