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
“I’m excited to welcome you to our school, where we create a supportive environment for every child to thrive. We value respect, curiosity and teamwork.
Do you recall when you were learning to ride a bike? When you were first attempting to drive a car? Do you remember your first day at school? Do you remember getting up and pushing yourself on when you made a mistake? All these situations presented you with a range of challenges to face, decisions to make, people to meet and skills to learn.
Most people, given the time and support needed at the time became confident and competent riders, drivers and learners. And so your child faces the same challenges and excitement when beginning at a new school.
Our school aims cater for the needs of the growing, learning person you have entrusted to our care and to help them to prepare for a life of fulfilment and worth. I know that with your support and encouragement your child will quickly adapt to the new circumstances of our school and become a confident and competent learner who is always striving to achieve.
On behalf of the children, staff and parents of Morgan Street Public School, I welcome you to our school and hope that in a relatively short time you think of it as your school as well. I am sure that your child’s time at Morgan Street will be challenging and rewarding.
I particularly value the importance of open communication and welcome enquiries or comments on any aspect of school life. The future of our school community looks extremely positive indeed.
We look forward to continuing to grow our relationships and our learning.”
Scott Sanford, Principal of Morgan Street Public School
