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 Willow Tree Public School, we are committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive and academically challenging environment where every student is encouraged to grow, learn and thrive.

Willow Tree Public School students 'Aim High' to be respectful, caring learners. We’ve seen strong growth in both academic results and sporting achievements, which speaks to the dedication of our staff and students.

We believe in the importance of strong partnerships between home and school, and we encourage families to stay actively involved in their child’s education.

Together, we will continue to inspire and empower our students for a bright and successful future. I look forward to welcoming your family into our school community.”
