Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
Warami. I’m excited to welcome you to our school, where we create a supportive environment for every child to thrive. We value respect, curiosity, community and teamwork.
We’re proud of our dedicated staff and strong partnerships with families, and we are proud of our students and what they achieve. Together, we ensure our students feel valued and inspired to learn.
The school is very proud to currently have over ten staff members on board who are all former students. This demonstrates the quality mentoring that occurs within our school, inspiring students to join the public education teaching force. Our mix of staff is diverse and their talents broad, bringing rich teaching and learning experiences to our classrooms and beyond.
Our students are strong visible leaders in the community, with strong representation at a range of community events. We are proud to have such strong community connections within our school and celebrate the many family links that exist and the success of our Alumni.
I invite you to explore our website to discover what makes our school special, and you can also take a closer look with our virtual tour. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
