Our teachers and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. In the classroom, office or playground, we work together to create a supportive, inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
Mittagong Public School is a truly outstanding place for students to learn, grow and thrive. Our school offers a vibrant, inclusive environment where every student can pursue their passions and achieve their goals. At the heart of our school community are the core values of respect, responsibility and cooperation. These principles guide everything we do and contribute to the nurturing, positive environment we cultivate for our students. Respect: We believe in fostering a culture of mutual respect among students, staff, and families. Our school is a safe and inclusive place where every individual is valued and treated with kindness and dignity. Responsibility: We encourage our students to take ownership of their actions, academic progress, and personal growth. By promoting a sense of accountability, we help students develop the skills and mindset needed for success in school and beyond. Cooperation: Collaboration is a cornerstone of our educational approach. Through teamwork and partnership, students learn the importance of working together to achieve shared goals and build meaningful relationships. At Mittagong Public School, our commitment to academic excellence is unwavering. We offer a rigorous curriculum that challenges students to reach their full potential. Our dedicated teachers employ innovative teaching methods, ensuring the students are engaged, inspired and well-prepared for future success. We believe in nurturing the whole student, and our extensive extra-curricular offerings reflect that commitment. From sports teams and clubs, to arts programs and community service initiatives, there is something for everyone at Mittagong Public School. These activities not only provide opportunities for personal growth but also foster strong connections among students. Mittagong Public School is deeply rooted in our local community. We believe in giving back and encouraging students to become responsible and compassionate citizens. Through partnerships with local organisations, service projects and community events, our students gain valuable life experiences. I invite you to visit our school and see firsthand what makes Mittagong Public School exceptional. Whether you are considering joining our school or simply want to learn more about programs and offerings, we would be delighted to welcome you.
