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

“Welcome to our school community. A place where every child is known, valued and encouraged to thrive. Our school's small, supportive environment creates a strong sense of belonging, where students can build confidence and develop a love of learning.

At Old Bonalbo PS, we are committed to high-quality teaching and learning that meets the needs of every learner. Our dedicated staff work collaboratively to provide engaging, evidence-based instruction across all curriculum areas. Students are encouraged to set goals, reflect on their progress and take pride in their achievements.

We believe that education is a partnership, one that thrives when families and the school work together. We value open communication with parents and carers and actively seek opportunities to involve you in your child's learning journey. Whether through everyday conversations, school or community events, parent meetings, your involvement strengthens our learning community and supports students success.

I invite you to explore our website, learn more about the opportunities we offer and connect with our school family. We look forward to working with you and your children to ensure every students feels confident, capable and ready for the future.”
