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 Minchinbury Public School, we believe every child has the potential to succeed when they are inspired, supported and challenged. Our school is a place where students are encouraged to be curious learners, kind classmates and active contributors to their community.

Learning extends far beyond the classroom, with a rich range of academic, sporting, cultural and leadership opportunities that help students discover their strengths and develop confidence. We celebrate effort, embrace diversity and encourage every student to strive for continuous growth.

Strong partnerships with families are central to our success. By working together, we create a positive and connected school culture where children feel safe, motivated and excited to learn each day.

I invite you to explore our website and gain a glimpse into the vibrant experiences and achievements that make Minchinbury Public School such a special place. We are proud of our students, dedicated staff and supportive community, and we look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Kristy Troy, R/Principal of Minchinbury Public School
