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
“I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to you and your child as you embark on your journey with Georges Hall Public School. It is a great privilege to serve as the Principal of this wonderful school, and I am dedicated to nurturing our most valuable resource—our children.
At Georges Hall Public School, we celebrate each child's individuality and strive to support their unique educational journey. Our dedicated teachers are committed to fostering each child's potential through thoughtfully designed and innovative learning programs.
Our school motto, "Playing our part," reflects our belief in the importance of every student striving to be:
- Safe
- Respectful
- Responsible
- Great learners
We are fortunate to have motivated students who are supported by engaged parents and families. I encourage open communication between parents and our staff regarding any matters of interest or concern. Our active Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association plays a vital role in our community, and I invite all new families to participate in meetings and social events.
The staff at Georges Hall Public School are passionate and highly skilled educators, bringing a wealth of knowledge and commitment to their essential role in guiding students through their primary education. Our strong academic achievements are a testament to the professionalism and dedication of our teachers, who deliver diverse, engaging, and outstanding educational experiences in a caring and responsive environment.
As your Principal, my door is always open to parents who wish to discuss their child's progress or any other school-related matters. I wholeheartedly encourage your involvement, as it is the best way for us to "learn together" and create the best possible opportunities for our children.
I look forward to meeting you and your family. Welcome to Georges Hall Public School!"
Warm regards,
Poppy Cassimatis
