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.
Our school is a vibrant, engaging and dedicated community where your children are welcomed, supported and inspired to thrive. Hannans Road Public School serves as a hub of knowledge, creativity and growth, fostering an environment in which every student is valued and encouraged to achieve their personal best. We take pride in offering an education that balances academic excellence with a strong emphasis on students’ social, emotional and physical development. By nurturing the whole child, we aim to prepare our learners for success both within the classroom and in the wider world beyond it. Critical and creative thinking sit at the core of our approach, encouraging students to question, explore and collaborate as active participants in their learning. We also recognise that strong partnerships between home and school are essential to student wellbeing and achievement, and we value open, ongoing communication with our families. Together, let us embrace challenges, celebrate achievements and create meaningful memories.
