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 Campsie Public School our ethos is reflected through our school motto of ‘Learning Together for Life’ and our school crest ‘Character Alone Ennobles’. We believe that the provision of a quality education where students are at the centre of future focused learning, delivered in a supportive and nurturing environment, will provide the foundation for life-long learning. At Campsie Public School our students represent the future of our community; students who strive to be positive and productive citizens, seeking to be leaders in a socially just and fair Australia.

We strive for excellence in all areas to ensure each student has every opportunity to develop as a confident, engaged and independent learner.  Teachers and the community work in partnership to ensure students benefit from a well-resourced and dynamic learning environment.

We pride ourselves on the breadth of opportunities open to students to excel. Our students will be equipped with the necessary learning and life skills needed to further their education and to be confident and contributing members of society.

I feel deeply privileged to lead this school community as the principal. The partnerships between teachers, parents, students and the broader community, ensures the students of Campsie Public School receive a quality, future focused education. An education that every member of this school community is extremely proud of.”

Berlinda Cook, Principal of Campsie Public School
