Welcome from our principal

Welcome!

I’d like to thank you for visiting the website of Bargo Public School – a school with a proud tradition of delivering public education for over 155 years.

At Bargo Public School we create a culture of high expectations and collaboration in teaching, learning and community connections. We use a whole school approach to foster student wellbeing, ensuring every student is provided with a supportive and engaging environment for effective learning. Student learning is supported through quality teaching practices that are evidence based, driven by research and data. Our purposeful, consultative approach ensures teachers, parents and students work collaboratively in positive partnerships to achieve the academic and social aspirations of the school community. Bargo Public School has a strong relationship with an energetic P&C, which consists of parents, carers and members of the wider community.
