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
As the Relieving Principal of Ellerston Public School, I am proud to lead a learning community that delivers outstanding education for everyone, everywhere, every day — where our students are known, valued, and cared for.
Our school is a welcoming place where every student feels a strong sense of belonging. We promote collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and innovation to make learning both exciting and meaningful. Our dedicated and skilled staff bring a wide range of expertise, and we encourage all students to strive to reach their full potential.
At Ellerston Public School, we aim to develop confident, focused learners who succeed academically, socially, and culturally. We provide high-quality programs in Literacy, Numeracy, and Technology. Although we are a small school, our students enjoy many opportunities to participate in sports, cultural events, and academic activities — and they consistently achieve excellent results across these areas.
We are proud members of the Upper Invermain Small Schools group, working closely with other small schools to provide exceptional education and innovative teaching practices. This collaboration ensures our students have access to opportunities similar to those available in larger schools nearby.
Finally, Ellerston Public School enjoys a strong and valued connection with its community. The incredible support from parents, families, and friends at our school events plays a vital role in our continued success.
