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

A very warm welcome to our Plumpton Public School students and families!

At Plumpton Public School, the education and wellbeing of our students is of the utmost importance to us.  Our three school values: Caring, Pride and Respect; for ourselves, each other, our school, the environment, and the world around us, are seen on the school emblem and are the foundations of our work.

We offer your child a nurturing, supportive and attractive environment in which children can grow into self-confident, self-reliant, and positive young people. Our goal is to enable each child to have academic success, to be productive and creative, to work as part of a team and be problem-solvers of the future. Our committed, caring teachers deliver a high quality, well-balanced curriculum to engage students and promote a love of learning.

We look forward to working in partnership with you and sharing your child’s journey of learning at Plumpton Public School.
