Message from the Principal
Welcome to The Entrance Public School.
As Principal, I am proud to lead a school that is committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and high-quality learning environment for every student.
Our vision focuses on three key priorities — academic achievement, student wellbeing, and community engagement. We are dedicated to supporting our teachers to deliver evidence-based teaching that inspires a love of learning, while also ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, and supported.
At The Entrance Public School, we understand that success extends beyond academics. By prioritising wellbeing and fostering strong community partnerships, we help our students grow as confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.
Together with our families, staff, and community, we continue to build a strong culture of excellence where every student can reach their full potential.
Mr Dave Stitt
