Welcome from our principal
I am delighted to welcome you to The Grange Public School. Our goal is to create a learning environment that motivates, challenges, and inspires every student to reach their best, academically and personally, across all areas of learning. We know that student wellbeing is the foundation of success. When students feel connected to their school and engaged in their learning, they truly thrive.
We are proud to be recognised for our work in supporting student wellbeing through positive education practices, which focus on consistent routines and a safe, caring environment where everyone feels valued. Strong relationships between students, staff, and parents lie at the heart of our school, shaping a welcoming and inclusive culture where everyone belongs.
Through engaging learning programs, extracurricular activities, and community events, we aim to develop confident, capable young people ready to make a positive difference in the world. I invite you to explore our website to discover what makes our school special, and we look forward to welcoming you into our community.
