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.
Principal's message
At Narellan Vale Public School (NVPS), we are proud of our vibrant learning community, where every student is known, heard, and valued. Set within our expansive and green grounds, we provide an environment that supports achievement of both academic and personal growth. Our dedicated teaching staff are highly qualified professionals who work together to create a culture of high expectations and inclusivity. In addition to our strong academic focus, NVPS offers a wide range of opportunities for students to engage in High Potential and Gifted Education across the domains of academic, social-emotional, creative and physical development. NVPS is particularly proud that every student has voice and this is exemplified by our active student parliament and the Kids Ambassador Team. We are a school that excels in the sporting arena and creative and practical arts, celebrating the achievements of our students both on and off the field. NVPS is home to three support classes, catering to the diverse needs of our students. Our close partnership and learning alliance with neighbouring Elizabeth Macarthur High School support a smooth and successful transition for students as they move into secondary school. We deeply value the contribution of our enthusiastic Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association, who play an important role in enhancing school life and building strong connections with families and the wider community. Enrolling your child will provide them with the best start in reaching their potential and beyond. We look forward to meeting you and your children and working in partnership to support their educational journey.
