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
At Canterbury South, we blend academic excellence with a deep sense of belonging. We are a thriving, inclusive K-6 community where every child is known, valued and empowered to succeed. Our students don’t just learn - they grow as thinkers, creators, leaders and kind citizens of the world. Rooted in deep cultural diversity and strong community connections, our school offers a rich learning environment where wellbeing and high expectations go hand in hand.
Learning here is dynamic and personalised. Whether it’s a young writer being mentored through a publishing opportunity, a budding mathematician exploring complex problem-solving, or a passionate scientist leading their own inquiry project, we nurture talents and ignite curiosity across every stage of learning.
As Principal, it’s my privilege to welcome families into a school built on an unwavering commitment to student-centred education. Set within beautiful, modern, state of the art facilities and supported by values of respect, resilience and responsibility, Canterbury South is more than a school - it’s a place where futures begin.
