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
Connect
At Otford Public School, our motto “We learn and grow together” reflects the strength of our community. Families, staff, and students work in partnership to ensure every child feels supported and valued. As Principal, I am proud to lead a school where belonging and collaboration are at the heart of all we do.
Succeed
The advantage of our small school is that every child is known. Teachers respond to each student’s academic and social-emotional needs, providing purposeful support and extension. Programs in High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE), outdoor education, and transition pathways give students opportunities to grow with confidence and success.
Thrive
We place student growth and wellbeing at the centre of our work. By nurturing resilience, curiosity, and a love of learning, we prepare children to flourish now and into the future—because at Otford, we learn and grow together.
