Starting Kindergarten in 2026
The Elderslie Public School difference
A strong start
Our school welcomes all students from all backgrounds. We help every child feel safe, included and ready to learn from their very first day.
Growth in the classroom and beyond
We offer our students a wide range of subjects and opportunities. This empowers them to learn, develop skills, and discover their passions.
Support for every family
Our teachers and learning and wellbeing support teams work with our families. We co-design plans that help students learn in the way that works best for them.
Principal's message
Welcome to Elderslie Public School — a vibrant and inclusive community where every student is encouraged to enjoy, participate, and succeed. We take great pride in fostering a culture built on our core values: being safe, respectful, and committed learners. Here, curiosity, resilience, mindfulness, and collaboration are celebrated as essential qualities that empower our students to grow and thrive.
Our dedicated staff work closely with families and the wider community to create a safe, nurturing environment where students develop academically, socially, and emotionally. We embrace our learning dispositions—Go Go Gritty, Retro Reflective, Captain Curious, Pop Pop Problem Solver, Blazer Brave, Mare Mindfulness, and Cosmo Collaborative—as the foundation for empowering every child to become a confident and capable learner.
We warmly welcome new families and celebrate the strong local connections that make our school community so special. As principal, I am proud to lead a school where we create a positive school environment where students develop a sense of self belief and are encouraged to challenge themselves.
Our vision is to create an innovative, inspiring, and inclusive community that empowers all to grow, achieve, and succeed. This vision reflects our commitment to celebrating every student’s unique journey. We look forward to welcoming you and supporting your child’s success at Elderslie Public School.
