Welcome to Mindalk
Principal's Welcome

It is with great pride that I continue my professional journey as the founding principal of Mindalk Primary School.

My aspirations for this learning community and for the big and little people that are connected to Mindalk is for each child, staff member and family to be known, cared for and supported. 

A learning community with high expectations for ourselves and for others is a founding value in building this school. Our core values: Learning, Adventure, Responsibility and Inclusion are the underpinning ideals that shape our work and enable us to reflect and refine our practices.

Learning is rigorous and purposeful.
Adventure is encouraged.
Responsibility is nurtured.
Inclusion is lived – not just stated.

Together, these principles create a safe and engaging environment where every student can grow. We are proud of the opportunities we offer and state-of-the-art learning environment we are charged with caring for. We are committed to providing an engaging education that builds strong foundations and prepares students for a rapidly changing world. Through high expectations, supportive relationships, and inclusive practices, we aim to support every learner succeed.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us—I look forward to welcoming you into the Mindalk community.
