Principal Level P4

.

Jordan Springs Public School was established in 2020. The school is located in Western Sydney, adjoining the city of Penrith. As a developing community, the school has established strong community involvement links that support a multicultural and inclusive ethos. With an anticipated student population in 2026 of 1,140, the school has sustained a steady enrolment trajectory. The current student composition includes 9.3% of students who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 44% from a language background other than English. The school also operates three support classes for students with diagnosed disabilities and additional needs.

The vision of Jordan Springs Public School is to empower students to learn, grow, and belong within an inclusive, high-quality education system that champions equity, wellbeing, and excellence. This commitment is grounded in deep respect for the Dharug people, the traditional custodians of the land, and extends to ensuring the success of every learner. Students build strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, supported by core values of responsibility, belonging, and growth embedded throughout all aspects of school life.

Through reflective, collaborative teaching and strong, supportive leadership, the school fosters a culture of high expectations, building a connected, supportive community where students strive for excellence.
