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 Falls Creek Public School, we are committed to helping every student feel connected, confident and capable. We provide a welcoming learning environment where strong relationships, high expectations and genuine care underpin everything we do.
As a small school, we are proud of the strong sense of community that allows every child to be truly known, valued and supported. Our staff build meaningful relationships with students and families, enabling us to understand each child's individual strengths, interests and needs.
This personalised approach allows us to support the whole child, academically, socially and emotionally, while helping every student thrive. Our students are encouraged to be curious learners, kind community members and resilient individuals.
Through engaging learning experiences and a supportive school culture, we work in partnership with families to help every child reach their full potential. We are proud of the opportunities we offer and the strong sense of belonging that makes Falls Creek Public School such a special place to learn and grow.
We invite you to discover what makes our school community unique and experience the benefits of a small school where every child matters, every voice is heard, and every success is celebrated."

Wellbeing and support staff
At Falls Creek Public School, we know children learn and grow best when they feel happy, safe and cared for. That’s why student wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.
Every child at our school is known and valued. Alongside our classroom teachers, we have a caring team who provide extra support when it’s needed, including:
- Learning and Support Teachers (LaST) who give focused help for students with specific learning needs
- School Learning Support Officers (SLSOs) who work closely with students in and out of the classroom
- Our School Counsellor, who supports children’s social, emotional and wellbeing needs
We also work in partnership with families, because we believe the best outcomes happen when we all support children together.
With this caring team around them, our students are encouraged to build resilience, develop confidence, and thrive both in their learning and in life.
