Hinton Public School is situated 10 kilometres east of Maitland at the junction of the Paterson and Hunter Rivers on traditional Worimi lands.
The school was first established in 1848. Three of the buildings are heritage listed. The school draws its students mainly from the Hinton/Wallalong village areas of Port Stephens Shire. The school motto states that 'Every Little One Counts'.
We believe in having a caring, safe environment where students feel happy and confident about themselves and others. We believe each child should receive appropriate recognition for effort and have opportunities to reach their full potential. As a consequence we believe that the students should participate in, and be challenged by, a balanced sequential curriculum appropriate to their stage of development in preparation for the future.
