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

“Welcome to the best-kept secret in the inner-west of Sydney!

Imagine a smaller, boutique school environment where every learner is known by name, and where a creative, collaborative culture inspires curiosity, an ongoing love of learning, kindness towards one another, personalised growth and outstanding achievement. This is who we are: a safe, happy and inclusive school where individual differences are respected, community is celebrated and every child’s unique qualities, needs and talents are nurtured by an outstanding team of teachers, support staff and leaders aligned towards excellence and equity in educational practices and delivery.

With a strong focus on Personalised Learning and High Potential and Gifted Education, we enrich each child’s intellectual, creative, social/emotional and physical growth—always with wellbeing at the heart of our work. In partnership with parents and carers, we encourage every learner to foster a growth mindset, to take risks in learning and to see mistakes as stepping stones to success.

Our guiding message is simple yet powerful: Dream it. Work to achieve it.  Here, imagination, curiosity and creativity open doors to wonder and possibility.

We look forward to welcoming you into our community of learners, dreamers and high achievers.”

Liz Davis, Principal of Lewisham Public School
