Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success. As a school community, we take pride in building strong partnerships with families, as these relationships are essential for fostering a supportive and thriving educational environment.
Welcome from our principal
Welcome to Condong Public School. Situated on the banks of the Tweed River, looking towards the peak of Wollumbin, our school has been proudly educating the children of the local community since 1888.
Our dedicated staff continually strive to provide learning experiences which will inspire the students to become resourceful and resilient citizens who can confidently collaborate, think creatively and problem solve.
Our school values of being a “Safe, Respectful Learner” play an important part in fostering the wellbeing and personal development of each student.
At Condong Public School, we value strong partnerships with families and the wider community to create a safe, nurturing environment where students grow academically, socially and emotionally.
I invite you to explore our website to discover what makes our school special. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.”
