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.
Welcome from our principal
“As a proud product of NSW public education—from my early years at Windale Public School through to my time as School Captain at Hunter Sports High School—I understand firsthand the transformative power of quality public education. It is both an honour and a privilege to lead this vibrant learning community as Principal.
Since opening our doors in 2023, Edmondson Park Public School has been dedicated to establishing rich learning experiences that extend well beyond the classroom walls. Our vision is to cultivate a collaborative learning community where high expectations, a growth mindset, and empathy thrive. We are committed to nurturing the whole child, prioritising wellbeing and fostering the confidence students need to become active contributors to society.
We maintain high expectations for all learners and are particularly proud of our involvement in Creative Inspire – High potential and gifted education initiatives in 2025, which ensures students with exceptional talent in this domain are challenged and supported to reach their full potential. Building on this foundation, we are excited to be expanding our Inspire – High potential and gifted education programs across all four domains—intellectual, creative, social-emotional, and physical—in 2026.
Through our focus on developing both academic excellence and strong social and personal attributes, we strive to develop confident, capable young people who are prepared for rewarding lives as engaged citizens. As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering outstanding educational opportunities for every student.
We invite you to partner with us in this important work—together, we transform lives through learning.
I look forward to welcoming you to our school community.”
Heather Alé, Principal of Edmondson Park Public School
