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

“Here at our school, Public education isn’t just a system, it’s the heartbeat of a place where every learner’s voice matters and every background brings something special to the table. We champion a healthy, harmonious environment where class, gender and culture aren’t hurdles, they’re threads in our shared story. Diversity, understanding and inclusion shape who we are. Together we discover that belonging, learning, achievement and community are for everyone.

We are committed to pursuing and promoting excellence in learning right across our K–6 curriculum, ensuring every child is challenged, supported and inspired to excel.

Explore our website to uncover what makes our school sparkle, from welcoming hearts to bold ideas, from collaborative classrooms to inspired outcomes. We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you into our story. Let’s learn, grow and belong together."

Sharon Allman, Principal of Dubbo South Public School
