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’m excited to welcome you to our beautiful school, where we create a supportive environment for every child to thrive. We value respect, curiosity and teamwork. Our students are constantly looking for ways to make our world a better place today, to support the generations of tomorrow.
We are proud to have two K-6 classes (K-2 and 3-6) where students are supported to achieve their full potential through targeted, differentiated teaching. We are also proud to host Distance Education students onsite who are enrolled in Camden Haven High School but complete their studies onsite.
Our school experiences strong support from our parent body and the school is a central part of the wider Lord Howe Island community."
