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 Barramurra Public School, a vibrant and modern learning community proudly opened in 2021. Our motto, "Learn, Innovate, Succeed," guides everything we do—we encourage students to embrace learning, think creatively, and achieve their best in all areas. With a growing population of students, we are dedicated to ensuring every child is known personally, valued for who they are, and cared for in a safe and supportive environment. We believe success looks different for every student, so we provide a wide range of opportunities to support and celebrate achievements across academics, arts, sports, and personal growth. At Barramurra, we are truly 'more than just a school' — we are a caring community where students and families work together to build a positive and inspiring future.”
Chad Lindsay, Principal of Barramurra Public School
