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 Mortlake Public School, every student has the opportunity to achieve their personal best through engaged, innovative learning in a safe, respectful and supportive school environment. A student at Mortlake Public School is an independent lifelong learner, who respects themselves and others, develops a sense of equity, participates in their communities and understands the need to maintain sustainable environmental systems as a responsible world citizen.

Working with parents and our community to assist the students in developing skills to become independent and self-sufficient adults who will succeed and contribute responsibly in a global community is a priority for us.

Mortlake Public School is committed to providing a caring, supportive environment where all students are able to develop a sense of self-worth together with respect, resilience, integrity and encouragement for others.

At Mortlake Public School, we ’Excel by Effort’ with high expectations valuing and respecting the individuality and talents of each student. We are continually developing a learning community which achieves high quality outcomes. This can only be done when students, parents and staff work together and are committed to building a school of which the entire community can be proud.

Your support and involvement is crucial to our continued success.
