Principal's Message

WELCOME FROM MRS SHIPLEY

A huge welcome to Dundas Public School for all Kindergarten students enrolling in 2023 and a very special welcome to new families who are joining the Dundas community for the first time. In these unprecedented times where a global pandemic prevents us from meeting face to face, I hope this information and website provides you with a clear vision of the comprehensive learning opportunities we offer as your child begins their primary school journey.

Kindergarten is the formal start to what we hope will be a long, successful and rewarding journey of life-long learning for your child. With your support, as partners on this learning journey, we hope to instil in every child a love for exploring and understanding the world and their place within it. We are pleased you have entrusted Dundas Public School with this responsibility and we look forward to working with you over the coming years.

Our school is a very active, welcoming and supportive place which prides itself on giving every child opportunities to grow and achieve their fullest potential. We emphasise a strong belief in all students making effective choices to be respectful, safe learners and through a rigorous and challenging curriculum and a broad range of extra-curricular initiatives, students are able to participate in many and varied creative and engaging learning activities.

Our experienced and highly qualified teachers are committed to ensuring students achieve their learning outcomes in a supportive and nurturing environment. We have a strong student welfare system founded upon the Positive Behaviour for Learning model and an effective Learning Support Team which closely monitors student progress and supports students’ individual learning needs.

Our school welcomes the involvement of the community through active participation with the Parents and Citizens Association. The P&C is a great way to get involved in the life of your child’s school and we would welcome any new parents looking to join. The P&C meets each month, so I hope we will see some of you there.

Once again, I welcome our new Kindergarten children and their families to the school and the entire staff of Dundas Public School look forward to working with you over the coming years to provide your child with the most wonderful and complete education we possibly can.
