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 Stroud Road Public School!
As principal, I am honoured and inspired by the dedication of our students, staff, and community who make our school an exceptional place. Rooted in strong community ties and generational learning—with many of our teachers once students here—Stroud Road offers a warm, family-like atmosphere that makes it impossible to leave once you arrive.
Set against a beautiful country backdrop, our small school ensures every student is known personally and receives individualised support. Though small, we strive to provide opportunities and resources found in larger schools, with staff working collaboratively to inspire every student to reach their full potential.
Our values—Participate, Learn, Succeed—guide us in creating an inclusive environment where all students and families feel valued and supported. We warmly invite you to join our vibrant community, where lifelong learning and strong connections flourish."
