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 Caringbah North, we’re inspired by the tradition and significance of the motto on our school emblem. In Truth and Beauty, we grow with curiosity, integrity, opportunity, and a love of learning. We hold high expectations for all, nurturing a desire to learn and improve and an understanding that achievement comes effort, persistence and resilience. We expect everyone to act with integrity and respect, being proud to do the right thing, support each other and contribute to our community. We enrich our learners with opportunities in academics, the arts, sport, and leadership, helping every child discover and develop their talents. Above all, we foster a love of learning that inspires joy, creativity, and a lifelong desire to grow.
On behalf of the students, staff and community I welcome you to our extraordinary school.
Dr Rosie Irvine
Principal of Caringbah North Public School
