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
“Our motto, 'Strive and Succeed', continues to capture the atmosphere of our beautiful school. We are a learning community located in Wiradyuri Country, where students have opportunities to develop academically and socially through leadership, creative arts and sport. Temora West is an inclusive school of eight classes, including two Multi-Categorical (MC) support classes.
Our core business is the teaching of literacy and numeracy, with our school community having high expectations for student achievement. We are focused on providing explicit and innovative teaching to encourage learning for all students. Our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) program teaches students to be respectful, responsible learners who are honest and show empathy for each other.”
Mr Peter Roddy, Principal of Temora West Public School
