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
Nestled at the foot of the majestic Bucketts Mountain Range and the Barrington Tops National Park, Gloucester Public School is a vibrant K–6 learning community set in a stunning rural landscape.
We are proud to be seated on Worimi and Biripi lands, and we walk alongside our Aboriginal community to ensure strong cultural connections and meaningful guidance. Our school celebrates diversity and inclusion, embracing the many stories and cultures that enrich our community.
At Gloucester Public School, we recognise and nurture the unique strengths of every student and staff member. We are committed to fostering each child’s potential in a proudly public education setting, offering mainstream, multi-categorical, and virtual opportunity classes.
In partnership with parents and carers, we support our students as they grow and thrive in a community defined by high expectations and shared values. Our dedicated and experienced teachers create a safe and supportive environment where students are encouraged to explore, question, and succeed.
Our leadership team is honoured to serve this exceptional school, where respect and appreciation for students, staff, and families are at the heart of everything we do.
We are proud of Gloucester Public School and all it offers—academic excellence, sporting achievement, and rich extracurricular opportunities.
I warmly welcome you to discover what makes Gloucester Public School a vibrant, engaging and future-focused place to learn.
