Welcome from our principal

“Welcome to Auburn Public School, a school that has served the local community for 140 years. At our school we aim to ensure a welcoming, nurturing and inspiring environment where every student can achieve their fullest potential.

We provide differentiated, challenging learning experiences embedded with high expectations to develop intellectual curiosity which fosters every child’s personal growth. Through collaboration, creativity and innovation we ensure the development of the social and emotional responsibility in each and every child.

We are proud of what we have accomplished together and are excited for the future. Together we will continue to create a dynamic, inclusive environment where we can all thrive, experience success, feel safe and secure and deliver academic excellence.

It is a privilege and honour to serve as the principal of such a dedicated and vibrant community of students, parents and staff."
