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
Welcome to Miranda North Public School. It is a privilege to lead a school community that is committed to nurturing every child to achieve their personal best.
At Miranda North, our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Safety underpin everything we do. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students feel known, valued and cared for, and where high expectations for learning and behaviour are clearly established.
Our spacious grounds provide an engaging setting for students to learn, play and grow. We are proud of our strong focus on academic success, supported by quality teaching and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Students at Miranda North also benefit from a wide range of opportunities in sport and the performing arts, allowing them to explore their interests, build confidence and develop as well-rounded individuals.
I look forward to working in partnership with our students, staff and families to ensure every child thrives.
Matthew Ackerman, Principal of Miranda North Public School
