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
“Hello and welcome to Randwick Public School!
We are a caring and connected community where every student is encouraged to do their best, be themselves, and feel proud of who they are. Our teachers believe in their students and work closely with families, ensuring every child feels supported and has a strong sense of belonging.
At Randwick, excellent teaching is at the heart of what we do. Students benefit from evidence-based, explicit teaching and the shared expertise of collaborative grade teams. Lessons are carefully designed to build knowledge and skills, with quality texts, rich resources, and differentiated learning that challenges and supports every child to achieve their personal best. Learning here goes beyond the classroom. From robotics and green screen technology to music, sport, and engaging break time activities, students have exciting opportunities to discover their passions, grow in confidence, and shine.
Randwick Public School is a place where every student belongs, feels valued, and is inspired to learn. We’re glad you’re here!”
