Welcome from our principal
Welcome to Sturt Public School, where every day is an opportunity to discover, grow, and be part of a diverse and inclusive community. Here, every student is encouraged to be curious, embrace challenges with confidence and resilience, and reach their full potential. Students are engaged and enjoy learning alongside their dedicated teachers and friends. We celebrate student achievements and inspire all to strive for personal excellence through our motto, “Strive to Achieve.”
At Sturt, we believe in building strong partnerships with families to create a safe and nurturing school environment where every student is valued and cared for. Our school is a community where friendships flourish and futures are shaped.
I am proud to lead Sturt Public School and warmly invite you to join us on this exciting journey of learning and growth.
