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
We warmly invite parents and carers to discover the programs, values and community that make Kooringal Public School such a special place to learn and grow, including exploring our expansive grounds. With a proud tradition of high expectations and outstanding achievement in academics, the performing arts and sport, we encourage every student to learn, thrive and build Prudens Futuri - Wisdom for the Future. I look forward to meeting you and your child and connecting you with our dedicated team and the Kooringal community.
