Our principal and staff

Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.

Welcome from our principal

Hello and welcome to Narranga Public School!

I’m Nicki Chaffey, the proud Principal of this wonderful school. At Narranga, we work hard every day to create a warm and caring place where your child can feel safe, happy, and excited to learn.

We believe every child deserves the chance to grow both in their learning and as a person. Our teachers and staff are passionate about helping each student discover their strengths and reach their best, whether that’s in the classroom, on the playground, or in their friendships.

We love working together with families and the community because we know that when we all support our children, they thrive. We celebrate curiosity, kindness, and creativity, and we’re here to help your child build confidence and skills they will use for life.

Thank you for being part of our school family. We look forward to getting to know you and your child as we learn and grow together.

Warm wishes,

Nicki Chaffey
