Principal's message

Hinton Public School is a thriving small school, proudly situated on the traditional lands of the Worimi Nation at the junction of the Hunter and Paterson Rivers.

At Hinton Public School, students are at the centre of everything we do. Our dedicated and passionate staff are committed to providing every child with a high-quality education that nurtures both academic achievement and personal growth. Our evidence-based explicit teaching practices ensure that every student has access to the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. We are also deeply committed to identifying and extending the talents of our high-potential and gifted learners, providing opportunities that challenge and inspire them to reach their full potential.

Our programs extend beyond the classroom, offering students the chance to engage in a wide range of cultural, leadership, environmental, and sporting opportunities. We place a strong emphasis on wellbeing, helping our students to build resilience, empathy, and the confidence to make positive choices—not for reward, but because it is the right thing to do.

Most importantly, Hinton Public School is a community built on authentic relationships. From the moment students arrive each day, they are welcomed by caring staff who are dedicated to making every day a positive one. Together with our families, we are preparing students not just for the challenges of today, but for the opportunities of tomorrow.

I warmly invite you to join us on this exciting educational journey.

Sarah Robards, Relieving Principal of Hinton Public School
