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

Welcome to Railway Town Public School! We’re proud to be a welcoming and inclusive community where every student has the chance to learn, lead, achieve, and succeed. Our motto, “Scholarship, Citizenship & Sportsmanship,” along with our core values of being respectful, a team player, proud, and safe, guide everything we do to create a friendly and supportive place for students, families, and the wider community.

Our teachers and staff work hard to provide excellent learning programs in literacy and numeracy, and we also offer lots of fun and meaningful activities outside the classroom.

We invite you to browse through our website to discover what makes our school unique. We warmly invite families and community members to be part of our school community and support our students as they grow and learn.
