Principal's message
Welcome to Clergate Public School!
As a proud product of the public education system and a small school upbringing, I am deeply committed to ensuring every student receives a quality education—one that nurtures the whole child and develops all their capabilities, so they not only meet but exceed their potential.
At Clergate Public School, our dedicated staff place students at the heart of every decision. We focus strongly on supporting wellbeing programs and creating opportunities that guide our students to make positive choices—not for rewards, but because it is the right thing to do.
As Principal, I feel privileged to work alongside our students and families every day. I am a lifelong learner, always seeking new ways to enrich our students’ experiences and prepare them for the road ahead in an everchanging world. While we cannot prepare the road itself, we can equip your child with resilience, empathy, and problem-solving skills that will help them navigate life’s challenges.
Our school community values genuine connections. From the moment your children walk through the gate—rain, hail, or shine—they are greeted by friendly staff who are committed to ensuring each day is a wonderful one.
I invite you to explore our website to discover what makes our school special. We look forward to welcoming you into our small school community.
Natalie Philpott, Principal of Clergate Public School
