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
“It is with great pride and pleasure that I welcome you to Normanhurst Public School.
Our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Striving for Success reflect the attitudes and beliefs of our students, staff and community.
The school has high expectations of all our students in academic studies and support all students to achieve their personal best. Long standing programs exist for students that require extra support, and opportunities exist for students to excel in several fields.
The school has a well-qualified and highly committed staff whose contributions and achievements are recognised and valued. Maintaining high standards of teaching and learning has always been the school’s core business and this has been achieved through staff willingly embracing change and improvement. Regular participation in quality professional development and professional dialogue that is supported by sound educational research demonstrates the commitment of staff to improve and further develop their pedagogy.
Extracurricular activities across all learning areas promote student engagement and are supported by staff with a range of skills in creative and performing arts, STEM, public speaking and sport.
Relationships between students, teachers and the community are respectful and positive. All members of the school community work collaboratively and with the knowledge of collective responsibility for future generations.
The school has a very active and supportive parents and citizens' association. Members of our school community are dynamic within every aspect of the school including the classrooms and committee initiatives.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school community.”
