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 Relieving Principal
Welcome to E A Southee Public School, a school with a proud history, strong community connections and high expectations for every learner.
At E A Southee, we place great value on care and connection — connection to our students, families, community and Country. Our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience guide the way we learn, work and grow together. We know that students learn best when they feel known, supported and challenged.
Our agile learning spaces allow us to be flexible and precise in how we support students. These purposeful environments enable explicit teaching, collaboration, small-group instruction and targeted support, helping our dedicated staff meet students at their point of need.
We are proud to draw on the rich history of our school and the legacy of Ethelbert Ambrook Southee, whose commitment to academic achievement and high expectations continues to inspire our work today. Our core purpose remains constant: to provide strong teaching, meaningful relationships and opportunities for every student to succeed.
We look forward to working alongside our families and community at E A Southee Public School.
Luke Dabin, Relieving Principal of E A Southee Public School
