Dedicated Leader, Proud Doonside Community Member

Welcome to Doonside Public School, where learning comes alive and every child’s potential shines bright! I’m David Galea, your principal and a proud long-standing member of the Doonside community. With heartfelt dedication and a passion for education, I am committed to nurturing a safe, welcoming, and inspiring place where every student feels valued and supported.

At Doonside PS, we believe every child deserves a learning environment that sparks curiosity and fuels a love for knowledge. From our vibrant Kindergarten to Year 6 mainstream classes, to our exciting preschool program focused on play and exploration, we lay strong foundations for literacy, numeracy, and creative thinking.

We’re especially proud of our Opportunity Class, designed to challenge and inspire gifted minds, and our Supported Setting classes that provide personalised care for students needing extra support – every learner matters here!

But school is about more than just lessons! Our extensive range of extracurricular activities – from sports and arts to leadership and community projects – ensures there’s something for everyone. It’s all made possible by our passionate team who work tirelessly to bring out the best in each student.

I’m approachable, student-focused, and passionate about creating pathways for success. Together with families and our community, we celebrate every student’s achievements and resilience.

Thank you for considering Doonside PS. I’m excited to welcome you to our school family and look forward to growing and learning together!
