Welcome to Wiripaang Public School!

Dear Students, Parents, and Community Members,

I am delighted to welcome you to Wiripaang Public School. As the principal, my goal is to ensure that our school is a welcoming and supportive environment for all.

At Wiripaang PS, we recognise that every child is unique and capable of achieving remarkable things. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing a high-quality education that fosters both academic and personal growth. We offer a variety of programs and activities designed to engage and inspire our students.

We value strong partnerships with families and the wider community, as they play a crucial role in our students' success. I encourage open communication and invite you to participate in school events and activities, as your involvement is essential to our vision - being the best school in the state.

I look forward to working together to support our students on their learning journey and to celebrate their achievements throughout the year. Thank you for being an important part of the Wiripaang PS family.

Warm regards,

Julie Low
Principal, Wiripaang Public School
