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 Binda Public School, we are proud to offer a caring, family-like environment where every child is known, valued and supported. As a small rural school, we provide personalised learning opportunities that nurture academic, social and emotional growth, ensuring each student can thrive at their own pace.

Our vision is to work in partnership with families, students and staff to empower children to become confident, resilient, motivated and successful learners. We embrace a growth mindset, where mistakes are seen as opportunities for learning and achievements, both big and small, are celebrated.

We believe in preparing students for lifelong learning through high-quality literacy and numeracy programs, enriching extra-curricular opportunities, and strong community connections. At Binda Public School, belonging, respect and high expectations guide all that we do. We warmly invite you to become part of our school community and share in our vision for every child’s success.
