Principal's message
"We offer a rich and diverse learning environment for all students. Our mainstream classes from Kindergarten to Year 6 build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and creative thinking. Our dedicated preschool program fosters curiosity, play, and social skills to prepare early learners for school.
Our Opportunity Class challenges gifted students to reach their full potential, while four Supported Setting classes provide tailored support for those needing extra assistance, promoting inclusivity and growth.
Beyond academics, we provide a wide range of extracurricular activities—from sports and arts to leadership and community projects—led by our passionate staff committed to a positive and nurturing environment.
Our students’ achievements, resilience, and enthusiasm inspire us daily, and we value the strong partnership with families and the community that makes our school welcoming and inspiring.
Thank you for visiting our website. We look forward to sharing our journey with you!"
David Galea, Principal of Doonside Public School
