Our Principal

Welcome to Georges River College Oatley Senior Campus.

As Principal, I am passionate about creating a school where every student is motivated to engage fully in their learning, feels inspired, and knows they are safe, supported, and respected. When students feel secure and encouraged, they are empowered to take risks, explore their potential, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

We offer a rich and diverse curriculum designed to challenge, inspire, and prepare students for a rapidly changing world. Our experienced teaching team fosters critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and resilience, while our programs nurture character, confidence, and independence.

We believe education is about more than academic success. It is about nurturing young people who are confident, compassionate and ready to take their place as active citizens.

We are proud of our harmonious and multicultural community, where students, staff and families work together to create an environment that is inclusive, inspiring and future-focused. I warmly invite you to explore our website and discover why Georges River College Oatley Senior Campus is a place where every student can learn, grow and succeed.
