Principal’s Message

Welcome to Chatham Primary School.

It is with great excitement and pride that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Chatham Primary School. Since joining the school community, I have been incredibly grateful for the warm welcome I have received from our students, staff and families. It is already clear to me that Chatham is a very special place.

Chatham Primary School is a vibrant, inclusive and connected community where children are at the heart of everything we do. Our school is proud of its strong sense of belonging, positive relationships and the genuine partnership that exists between students, staff and families.

One of the many things that makes Chatham so special is the way our community comes together. Our dedicated and passionate staff are committed to providing engaging and high-quality learning experiences that support every child to grow, achieve and thrive. We value curiosity, creativity and a love of learning, while also recognising the importance of wellbeing and ensuring that every student feels known, valued and supported.

Our students are enthusiastic, respectful and proud of their school. They bring energy and personality to our classrooms and playgrounds each day, and I am continually impressed by their willingness to learn, contribute and support one another.

As Principal, I am excited to work alongside our students, staff, families and wider community to build on the many strengths of Chatham Primary School. Together, we will continue to create a school where every child is supported to reach their potential and where learning is engaging, meaningful and enjoyable.

If you are considering Chatham Primary School for your child, I warmly encourage you to come and experience our wonderful school community for yourself. I look forward to meeting new and prospective families and welcoming you to Chatham. Please feel free to book a school tour and see firsthand what makes our school such a special place to learn, grow and belong.

Warm regards,

Hayley Grindley
Principal
Chatham Primary School
