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

As a proud Department of Education public school located at the southern end of the Sutherland Shire, we offer opportunities for every student to reach their full potential through participation in a wide variety of educational programs. With literacy and numeracy the focus, student expectations are differentiated to meet individual needs. Our students are encouraged to be life-long learners and responsible global citizens.

Our highly professional staff work in partnership with each other, the families of students and members of the wider school community to ensure the best outcomes for all of our students. Teachers and support staff share a culture of professional excellence, continuously learning to provide challenging and engaging future focused experiences for all.

The strong partnership between school and home is evidenced by high levels of parent participation at the school in many forms, including the P&C run canteen, uniform shop and fundraising committee; helpers in classrooms and at sporting events; attendance at community events and parent workshop sessions. The partnership is strong and genuine.

We are very proud of our school and the work we do here every day which has contributed to the excellent reputation we have in the community.

Once again, welcome to Engadine West Public School.

Sue Roach
Principal of Engadine West Public School
