"Sending your child to school can feel like such a massive progression and I know personally I felt very nervous when my little one was on her way to kindergarten. From the beginning, our family have felt supported by the Crescent Head School community. The staff are incredibly kind and considerate. They take the time to really understand and nurture each child as an individual whenever possible.What stands out most to me is the school’s genuine dedication to all areas of development — from academics to the arts, sports, and community involvement. It is clear that the teachers and leadership team truly care about helping every child thrive.Any concerns we have ever had have been handled quickly, thoughtfully, and with great professionalism. We really have appreciated how open and approachable the staff and principal have been — communication always feels easy and respectful within CHPS. Crescent Head Primary School is a special place, and we are happy to be a part of it." - parent of Crescent Head Public School
