Welcome from our principal
Welcome to Inverell Public School, a safe and supportive learning community built on respect, responsibility, and excellence. Our students are at the heart of everything we do, guiding decisions and inspiring us to create an engaging environment where every child can thrive.
We foster inclusion by celebrating diversity and ensuring every voice is valued. Our dedicated staff work together to support academic achievement, personal growth, and wellbeing, helping students build the skills and confidence they need for success.
Strong partnerships with families and the wider community are central to our school. By working together, we create opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom and nurture a sense of belonging.
We also offer a wide range of programs and activities, giving students the chance to discover their strengths, explore new interests, and develop their potential.
