Situated in the southern suburbs of Sydney, in beautiful bushland amid sandstone outcrops, Kareela Public School has enjoyed a high reputation in the Sutherland area since it first opened in 1976 (see the History of our school).
The ethos of the school is encapsulated in the school's mission statement 'Promoting Excellence and Lifelong Learning' and the school's motto 'Knowledge, Pride, Success'.
Our priorities include the development of personal excellence in all pursuits, the welfare of all students, the demonstration of our school's PBL expectations: safe, respectful, responsible, and caring behaviours towards others and the environment. The school community supports and values the opportunities offered to the students and works together with the staff to ensure a safe and happy learning environment where all students can reach their highest potential.

The original school badge was designed in 1979 and followed the theme of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race winners, after which the streets in Kareela are named.
In the 1990's the design was modified to more closely resemble a yacht sailing in the southern wind.
