I am very proud to be Principal of Coogee Public School and am excited about the targets all stakeholders have set for our school in our latest plan.
At Coogee Public School we aim to develop every student as a resilient, confident and adaptable learner. Through strong partnerships with our school community, students will strive to become assessment capable learners with a passion for learning while demonstrating the abilities to respond independently, collaboratively, reflectively, critically and creatively. With these positive attributes, our students will become successful, well rounded individuals.
We have three clear strategic directions for 2021-2024:
- Student growth and attainment
- Quality teaching
- Wellbeing and collaboration

Much has changed over the many years but what remains is our solid community reputation and our place as the main provider of primary education in the Coogee area. In fact, we believe that our school represents the best that Public Education in NSW has to offer. I look forward to you getting to know our school better and look forward to meeting or catching up again with you soon.
