KINDERGARTEN 2026

Welcome to Londonderry Public School! It is my pleasure to extend a warm greeting to you as your child/children embark on an exciting journey of an outstanding education at our school. As the Principal, I am thrilled to have your family as part of our school community. I believe the school is the hub of the community. 

At Londonderry we are deeply committed to fostering a positive and nurturing environment that prioritises the wellbeing of every student. Kindness and respect are key features of our school ethos. Our dedicated staff are focused on not only delivering a comprehensive and engaging curriculum focussed on fundamentals, but also support the emotional and social development of each child. This safe and nurturing environment fosters a high standard of behaviour and achievement. 

We believe that a well-rounded education goes beyond academic achievement, and our wellbeing programs and wide variety of opportunities such as sport, arts, dance and technology, are designed to ensure that our students feel challenged, valued, safe, respected and supported to achieve their goals. Our teaching and learning programs are crafted to inspire curiosity and a love of learning. Our highly professional and educated teachers strive to offer a balanced and diverse range of activities that cater to different interests, learning styles, learning needs and diverse needs of our students.  

We value our close connections to our parents and community as this is what makes Londonderry Public School a welcoming and friendly environment. This includes our outstanding P and C who work tirelessly to support the school through fundraising to subsidise excursions, camps and resourcing the school. They also manage the canteen and uniform shop that runs Wednesday to Friday every week. We have outstanding partnerships with our local high school (Richmond High School) and our local preschool (Londonderry Early Learning Centre). These partnerships provide our students with strong connections throughout their key transition points. 

Community engagement is at the heart of what we do. We recognise that a strong partnership between home and school is crucial for student success. We encourage you to take an active role in our school community through events, volunteering opportunities and regular communication with our staff. Your involvement and feedback are invaluable in creating a supportive and enriching environment for your child. 

As we work together to provide the best possible education and experience for your child, I invite you to reach out to us with any questions. Our doors are always open and we are here to support you and your family. 

Thank you for your commitment to our school community. We look forward to a wonderful partnership ahead filled with growth, learning, fun and memorable experiences. 

Kind regards, 

Mr Shanan Wood
