The principal is responsible for the educational leadership and management of our school. If you would like to speak to the principal, please contact us to make an appointment.

Our school administrative staff can answer inquiries or direct you to the appropriate staff member for help.

Approaching Your School

From time to time parents or other members of the school community may need to approach the school in order to:

·       discuss the progress or welfare of own child

·       express concern about actions of other students

·       enquire about school policy or practice

·       express concern about actions of staff

It is therefore necessary to have procedures that will help solve problems as soon as possible so that a safe and harmonious school environment is maintained. The best results usually flow from working together.

These guidelines aim to:

·       provide a guide in order that concerns are dealt with using a solution focused approach in an open and fair manner

·       ensure that the rights of students, teachers and parents are respected and upheld

·       support sensitivity and confidentiality

·       help reach an agreed solution

On occasion, concerns may cause frustration and anxiety. At such times it is always important to organise a time to talk with school staff in an unhurried and confidential atmosphere.

Teachers, parents and community working together for successful schooling.

Please refer to the following actions for each concern.
