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 Holsworthy Public School, we believe that every child deserves to feel a deep sense of belonging, purpose, and possibility. As Principal, I am proud to lead a school where diversity is embraced and celebrated. Our students come from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and it is this richness that strengthens our inclusive and vibrant school community. We are committed to nurturing a culture built on respect, understanding, and strong relationships—because we know that students learn best when they feel safe, supported, and inspired.
We hold high expectations for every learner and are proud of our strong tradition of academic excellence. Our dedicated staff use evidence-informed practices to ensure all students are challenged, engaged, and equipped to achieve their personal best. We believe in providing meaningful opportunities for growth—academically, socially, and emotionally—through high-quality teaching, targeted support, and strong partnerships with families and the wider community. At Holsworthy Public School, we are united by a shared belief: that every child has the potential to succeed, and it is our role to help them flourish. I look forward to working in partnership with you and being part of your child’s educational journey.
Nicole Cameron, Principal of Holsworthy Public School
