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
Giinagay, and welcome to Sawtell Public School!
Set in a beautiful coastal village, we utilise our unique location to enrich the learning experiences for our students.
As a showcase school for explicit teaching, and with a strong focus on High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE), students are challenged in an inclusive and supportive environment.
We enjoy collaborative partnerships with our families and the wider community, working together to cater for the individual needs of our students. Student voice and leadership are highly valued, enhancing educational outcomes and building a positive sense of belonging.
Our highly skilled and dedicated teachers and support staff maintain positive and nurturing relationships with students, in a setting where all students are known and cared for.
Extra-curricular activities play an integral role in student life at Sawtell Public School. Our renowned performing arts and sporting programs enable clear pathways for students to be successful at a variety of representative levels.
If you would like to be part of the Sawtell Public School community, contact our friendly front office staff to arrange a visit. I look forward to welcoming you and your family.
