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 Oatlands Public School, a welcoming and supportive learning community where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to achieve their personal best.

At Oatlands Public School, our students are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that when students feel safe, valued, and connected, they are empowered to take responsibility for their learning and embrace new challenges with confidence.

Our dedicated staff work collaboratively to provide high-quality teaching and learning in an inclusive and caring environment. Strong relationships, positive behaviour, and respectful partnerships underpin our school culture and support the growth and wellbeing of every student.

We value the important role families, and the wider community play in our students’ success. By working together, we create a positive and collaborative environment where diversity is celebrated, and every child is supported to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about what makes Oatlands Public School a special place to learn. We look forward to working in partnership with our families and welcoming you into our school community.
