Anakie Primary School provides a safe and positive learning environment, where students are encouraged to take risks and receive timely feedback to grow socially, emotionally and intellectually. Staff are supported in their teaching and learning, as well as their wellbeing, to ensure they are connected and feel valued in their roles. As a Principal, I respect diversity, promote inclusion, am visible in my role, act with fairness and compassion, whilst ensuring that all members of our school community, including me, take pride in our wonderful school.
At Anakie, we believe in the power of education to transform lives, and we are committed to providing an enriching and supportive experience for all our students. Our goal is to create an atmosphere where every child feels empowered, inspired, and valued. We recognise that each student is unique, and we strive to nurture their individual strengths while guiding them through academic challenges that promote intellectual growth.
We also offer a range of extracurricular activities that encourage teamwork, leadership, and community involvement, ensuring that our students leave us as well-rounded individuals prepared for success in an ever-changing world. We are passionate about fostering a positive school culture based on mutual respect, inclusivity, and kindness. We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential in supporting our students.
On a personal note, I am a mother of three young boys. My family and I love to travel in our caravan and enjoy many adventures to waterfalls, new places and being outdoors. I grew up living on a dairy farm and regularly go back to visit. It brings me great joy watching my children enjoy the motorbikes, tractor rides and milking the cows.
Being the Principal of Anakie PS is such a privilege. I look forward to welcoming you into our school and having you be part of what is truly a very special place.
