We are passionate about teaching and learning at West Melton School. We believe our school is a fantastic safe place; a place for children to come and learn and have fun, for teachers to come and teach and have fun, and for parents & caregivers to come and get involved and have fun!
West Melton has a strong sense of community. We strive to build on this by continually updating our school website to provide school information for our parents and prospective parents, and also help children with their learning.
Our learning community caters for all children from the New Entrant level (5 yrs) to Year Eight (12-13 yrs). In the future our school will be experiencing steady roll growth with a start of year roll this year of 232 children. The Board of Trustees are proactive in managing this predicted growth.
We are especially proud of our children, their achievements and the programmes we provide. We continually work hard to ensure our programmes are "needs driven" and purposeful for the children.
It is a privilege to be the Principal of West Melton School and to lead a dedicated and committed team of highly skilled teachers and support staff in partnership with our parent community.
I love working with people, and I am passionate about children and education.
Please feel free to contact me for further information or feedback at any time.
