Get to know our school staff. We're all here to help.
Our professional, university-educated teachers encourage students to develop a love of learning and a desire to succeed. They maintain the highest integrity and concern for your child’s wellbeing.
The principal is responsible for the educational leadership and management of our school. If you would like to speak to the principal, please contact us to make an appointment.
Our school administrative staff can answer inquiries or direct you to the appropriate staff member for help.
At Tacoma Public School we have a highly qualified staff who believe improving the quality of teaching practices is of the utmost importance.
We believe that the impact of ongoing professional learning for staff is significant in increasing learning outcomes for our students and for this reason our staff participate in weekly professional learning activities for one hour after school. This equates to 40 hours per year per teacher. In addition to in school activities staff attend relevant workshops and courses organised at a local, regional and state level.
