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
As principal of Table Top Public School, I am proud to lead a small and growing school that offers big opportunities for every child. Our students learn in an environment where they are known, valued and supported to reach their full potential. Together with our dedicated teachers and support staff, we strive to provide meaningful learning experiences that inspire curiosity, build confidence and encourage kindness.
Our school is a close-knit community where learning extends beyond the classroom. Students grow not only through rich academic programs, but through strong connections with one another and the wider community. From the wide-open paddocks that frame our grounds to the welcoming relationships we share with families, our setting offers the perfect balance of space, connection and care.
I invite you to visit our school and experience the sense of belonging and pride that makes our learning community such a special place.
