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
“I’m excited to welcome you to our school, where we create a supportive environment for every child to thrive. We value respect, kindness and excellence.
I am committed to an inclusive education environment where students are known, valued and cared for. The importance of developing respectful, quality relationships between students, teachers and parents will be fundamental to the success of our school. This is echoed in the principles of our proud public education system and will be a hallmark of systems and practices at Inner Sydney High School.
I am passionate about public education and the opportunity to be part of this exciting chapter in the NSW Department of Education history.
I look forward to working with you."
