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 to Curran Public School!
At Curran Public School, we are proud to be a vibrant learning community committed to equity and excellence, where every student is valued and inspired to learn, grow, and belong. Located on beautiful Dharawal Country in the suburb of Macquarie Fields, our school embodies respect for culture, connection, and collaboration.
We celebrate the rich diversity of all cultures within our community, recognising that our differences are our greatest strength. As part of the Connected Communities strategy, we embed local Aboriginal culture and language into our curriculum from Kindergarten to Year 6. This meaningful commitment enriches the identity, pride, and engagement of our Aboriginal students while fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal histories, languages, and culture for all learners.
Our highly skilled and caring staff are dedicated to meeting the unique needs of every student. They thoughtfully adjust teaching strategies to provide personalised support, ensuring all students can engage meaningfully and succeed. We invest in expert teaching practices grounded in evidence, including explicit teaching and effective feedback, always upholding high expectations. Our broad and inclusive curriculum is enhanced by diverse co-curricular opportunities across the arts, sports, leadership, and academic domain, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging educational experience.
We focus on building student confidence, inspiring them to dream big, pursue their aspirations, and become the future leaders of our community and beyond.
At Curran Public School, genuine partnerships with families and the wider community are at the heart of everything we do. We work closely together to connect students and families with the supports and services they need, fostering equity and empowerment through shared decision-making and elevating local voices for continuous positive growth.
We warmly welcome you to be part of our school community where every individual is celebrated, every culture is honored, and every learner thrives.
Together, we achieve excellence.
