Calm, Caring and Connected

Nestled within the beautiful Numinbah Valley rainforest, our small school with a big heart provides a calm and caring environment where our students learn, play and grow together. Across our school, our students naturally support one another, creating a strong sense of belonging where every child feels known, valued and connected.

Small Classes. Personalised Support

With small class sizes, each student is known as an individual. Our teachers provide personalised support, encouragement and challenge to help our students grow in confidence, discover their strengths and reach their potential. From leadership and public speaking to sport, creative arts and HPGE opportunities, each student gets the chance to grow and succeed.

Growth in the classroom and beyond

Our passionate and dedicated teachers build strong relationships with every student and family, creating a supportive environment where our students feel safe to learn and thrive. Our students enjoy specialist art and music programs, visiting sport coaches and evidence-based teaching that builds strong foundations in literacy and numeracy while inspiring curiosity, creativity and confidence. We inspire excellence by setting positive examples, fostering ambition and creating an environment where high achievement is valued and encouraged.

Principal's message

Welcome to Chillingham Public School,  a small school with a big heart, nestled in the beautiful Numinbah Valley.

Our school has a long and proud history of providing quality education in a caring and supportive environment. We value the strong sense of community that surrounds us, where every student is known, valued and encouraged to do their best.

At Chillingham, our motto “Success Through Teamwork” reflects our belief that true learning happens when students, families, staff and community work together. We take pride in the partnerships we build with families and the genuine care we show for each child. Every student is supported to develop their confidence, curiosity and love of learning so they can reach their personal best.

Our dedicated teachers provide rich and engaging learning experiences that build strong foundations in literacy and numeracy while encouraging creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving. We nurture a culture of respect, kindness and responsibility, helping students to grow as capable learners and thoughtful citizens.

Surrounded by beautiful bushland, our school makes the most of its natural setting to foster a sense of wonder and appreciation for the environment. Students learn the importance of caring for Country and respecting the world around them.

I am proud to lead a school where tradition and community spirit continue to thrive. Together, we create a learning environment that is welcoming, inclusive and focused on helping every child shine. I warmly invite families to be part of our journey and to share in the continued success of our wonderful school.
