Welcome to Frank Partridge VC Public School!

As Principal, I am proud to lead a school where every child is known, valued and supported to thrive. We nurture respect, curiosity and teamwork, helping children feel confident to ask questions, explore their interests and embrace new challenges.

We celebrate our strong academic achievements and support every student to become an empowered learner. Through high expectations, explicit teaching and personalised support, we encourage students to think critically, take pride in their progress and achieve their personal best.

Our dedicated staff bring expertise, enthusiasm and care to the classroom and beyond. From sport and cultural programs to performing music at the Sydney Opera House, students enjoy opportunities to discover their strengths, experience success and develop a lasting love of learning.

Strong partnerships with families and our wider community enrich school life and build belonging. We value families’ knowledge and aspirations and proudly celebrate Aboriginal culture and our connection to Gumbaynggirr Country.

Having grown up in the Nambucca Valley, I am a proud former student of Nambucca Heads Public School and Macksville High School. Frank Partridge VC Public School and Nambucca Heads High were still bush when I was growing up! It is a privilege to lead a school in the community that helped shape me.

I warmly invite you to join us for a school tour and experience the learning, opportunities and welcoming community spirit that make our school such a special place.

Big Skills for Little Learners.

Leadership begins in primary school. We intentionally develop confidence, responsibility and strong character alongside academic skills.

Students learn to:

When children feel capable, they rise to the challenge.

Children thrive when school feels safe, welcoming, and inspiring. Our strong family partnerships and community connections extend learning beyond the classroom and reinforce the values we teach each day.

✔ Safe & Structured Learning Environment

We are proud to be a school where families feel connected and students feel known.
