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 Trundle Central School, we pride ourselves on providing an environment where every student is known and cared for. Our school has dedicated and experienced staff. A feature is length of employment with very little staff movement year to year. This stability allows real productive working relationships between staff, students and families. High quality explicit teaching sets a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy whilst fostering creativity, curiosity, and love of learning.
Our school offers a range of extra-curricular activities from Kindergarten to Year 12. These included gifted and talented education programs and those designed to foster work ready skills for high school students. Successful transition into employment is a core goal of our school.
Our school is a primary provider of social welfare programs within the township of Trundle. This is part of our commitment to educating the whole child.
Come and see why Trundle Central School is a perfect place for your child to learn, grow and thrive.”
John Southon, Principal of Trundle Central School
