Our principal and staff 2025
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
Welcome to Colo Vale Public School, where learning comes alive! I am delighted to welcome you as we begin your child’s primary education journey.
At Colo Vale Public School, we believe learning is about curiosity, creativity and connection. Our dedicated educators create a dynamic environment that inspires students to explore their interests, develop their talents and pursue new challenges with confidence—whether in the classroom, on the sports field or in the arts.
We recognise that every child is unique. Our personalised programs support both academic and personal growth, while a wide range of extracurricular activities—such as chess, dance, recorder and gardening—encourage students to discover new interests and make lasting friendships.
We value strong partnerships with families and maintain open communication through events, workshops and the School Bytes parent portal.
Our inclusive school celebrates diversity and ensures every student feels known, valued and cared for.
Together, let’s create a joyful year of growth and discovery.
Warmest regards,
Nina Culleton
Principal of Colo Vale Public School
