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 Madang Avenue we look forward to getting to know all the children as they learn and grow. Every child is a unique individual and we work hard to cater for individual needs in every area of learning and social development. We believe that to become confident, creative and resilient learners for life children need to be engaged in relevant and challenging educational programs within a culture of respect for self and others.
School priorities include strategies to promote motivated and productive learners through quality teaching in a cohesive learning community.
Ensuring your child is a happy and successful learner is as much a priority of ours as it is of yours. We share this goal with you and are confident of maintaining a close and trusting relationship between home and school.
Members of staff are keen to learn about your child and how to respond to their diverse needs so please share any relevant information with your child’s teacher, a member of the executive or myself.
If now or at any time you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
Welcome on behalf of everyone at the school.
