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
At Greta Public School, every child is known, supported and inspired to learn. Our classrooms are calm, inclusive spaces where students feel safe to take risks, grow in confidence and achieve their personal best.
As a community-minded school, we foster strong partnerships with families and local organisations, working collaboratively to support each learner’s journey. We also offer tailored opportunities and enrichment programs designed to challenge and extend our High Potential and Gifted Learners, helping them to thrive and excel.
Grounded in explicit, evidence-informed teaching and strengthened by a proud 150-year history, we nurture curiosity, respect and a lifelong love of learning.
We invite you to discover what makes Greta Public School a place where learning feels like belonging.
