Message from the principal

As the founding principal of Googong Public School, I am looking forward to working with the school community to establish a high expectation, innovative and inclusive learning culture where every student is known, valued and cared for. 

I am a strong advocate for public education and firmly believe that every child deserves the right to a quality education. I am committed to the NSW Department of Education vision statement to be Australia's best education system and one of the finest in the world. 

Collectively we will create a future focused learning environment at Googong Public School that is designed to support strong collaboration, creativity, inquiry and achievement, giving every student the opportunity to succeed and thrive.

It gives me great joy to join the Googong Public School executive team.

My background in educational leadership and ability to build a shared vision, sense of responsibility and purpose makes me excited to work with the Googong Public School team and community.
