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 Albury North Public School, we believe every child is unique. Therefore, every child deserves a learning experience that meets their individual needs.
That’s why we offer engaging and challenging programs. They nurture creativity, imagination and problem solving skills.
But learning is more than just programs—it’s about the people who bring them to life. Our dedicated teachers guide students with mentoring, coaching and targeted support. At our school, we ensure every child thrives.
Wellbeing and inclusion are central at our school. We create a safe and supportive environment where students play, learn and grow together. They build confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
Join us at Albury North Public School, where every child is supported to reach their full potential.
