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.
At Barrington Public School we nurture every student’s academic, social, and emotional growth in a safe and supportive environment. Our curriculum combines explicit teaching, personalised learning, and real-world skills to ensure all learners are challenged and supported.
Our values—respect, responsibility, care, choices—guide our community and shape student character. We promote inclusivity, wellbeing, and strong partnerships with families and the wider community to enhance learning beyond the classroom.
Students also benefit from a wide range of extracurricular opportunities in arts, sports and leadership, helping them build confidence and explore their interests.
We are committed to continuous improvement and preparing our students to be responsible, compassionate, and engaged citizens.
