Welcome from our principal
“Welcome to Stanwell Park Public School!
At our beautiful small school, we believe every child deserves to feel known, cared for, and challenged to achieve their best. Our dedicated staff place students at the heart of everything we do, fostering curiosity, kindness, and high expectations in every classroom.
Stanwell Park Public School is built on strong community connections. We work closely with families to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where every learner can thrive.
I feel incredibly proud to lead a school where children are encouraged to grow in confidence, care deeply for others, and embrace the joy of learning each day.
Together, we will help your child shine.”
