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
"Hello and welcome to the community of Chatsworth Island Public School. We look forward to working in collaboration with you to ensure the best possible educational outcomes are achieved for your child. We understand that every child is unique and learns at differing rates and abilities.
At Chatty, every child is treated as an individual and encouraged to develop a love of learning as well as positive social interactions and respect for others. As we work in partnership to provide for the educational needs of your child over coming years, please do not hesitate to call in and discuss with me any matters of concern should they arise. It is my firm belief that communication is one of the keys to successful schooling.
I invite you to explore our website to discover what makes our school special. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.”
