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
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our school community. At Lilli Pilli Public School, we pride ourselves on being a place where Everyone Matters. This philosophy guides everything we do - from the way we care for one another, to how we nurture and challenge every student to grow, succeed, and thrive.
We are fortunate to have an outstanding team of dedicated and highly skilled teachers. Their passion, creativity, and commitment ensure that every child receives the very best opportunities to learn. Our staff work together to create engaging, supportive, and inspiring classrooms where curiosity is encouraged and achievement is celebrated.
At the heart of our approach is a deep belief in the uniqueness of every student. We understand that each child has their own strengths, interests, and needs. Our programs and practices are designed to recognise these differences and to support students as individuals - helping them to feel valued, confident, and empowered to achieve their personal best.
I warmly invite you to explore our website, visit our school, and see for yourself the vibrant learning community we are so proud of. Together, we can ensure that every child is known and given the opportunity to shine.
Jane Shepherd, Principal of Lilli Pilli Public School
