澳大利亚留学：Kemps Creek Public School介绍

　　Kemps Creek Public School（http://www.liuxue360.com/au/kempscreek-ps/）is situated approximately twenty five kilometres west of Liverpool. It is centred between the cities of Liverpool, Penrith and Camden, in a semi-rural area. The nearest public school to ours is four kilometres away. A private school has been established next door to our school. Our school is situated on three hectares of land. The Cross Street section of the site has been developed over the years with gardens, grassed areas and trees, providing a safe and enjoyable play area for students. A new back oval has been developed. The area has a morning and afternoon private bus link with Liverpool.

　　The school's mission statement was confirmed this year by teachers, parents and student representatives and states that: "Our mission is to achieve quality education which will equip each student to take a responsible role in society through a staff and community committed to sound educational practices, in a positive environment." We achieve this through courses of study developed to suit the needs of all pupils in the school.
