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

Welcome to our wonderful school.

At Lithgow Public School every child is known, valued and cared for. For more than 150 years, our school has been at the heart of the community, nurturing generations of learners and maintaining strong, lasting connections with families, local organisations and our Aboriginal community.

We warmly invite you to come and take a tour to see our classrooms alive with curiosity and creativity. Students engage in rich, hands-on learning supported by our extensive STEAM resources, and have opportunities to express themselves through music, dance, drama and a wide range of sporting programs that promote teamwork and wellbeing.

Our connection to Country is grounded in our respect for the Wiradjuri people, whose culture, knowledge and stories continue to shape who we are as a community. This connection underpins our shared values of respect, inclusion and belonging.

Come and see for yourself what makes Lithgow Public School such a special place to learn and grow. Please contact our office to arrange a tour — we’d love to welcome you.

Warm regards,
Mark Davies
Principal
