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
"At Boggabri Public School, we educate, enrich and empower, and I’m proud to lead a school where every child is known, valued and supported.
Our values of respect, cooperation, honesty and fairness guide everything we do. We’ve seen strong growth in both academic results and sporting achievements, which speaks to the dedication of our staff and students.
We embrace the rich cultural diversity of our school community and celebrate the backgrounds, strengths and stories that every student brings.
Our teachers create a caring and inclusive environment, with personalised support for Indigenous students, those with learning needs, and enrichment for high-potential learners.
We’re a small school with a big heart. Our proud history, supportive P&C and great facilities provide a strong foundation for learning and growth.
I look forward to welcoming your family into our school community."
