Principal's Welcome
Worimi Ngini and welcome to Jordan Springs Public School. It is an absolute privilege to be the foundation principal of Jordan Springs Public School. To have the opportunity to create and build a shared vision and culture of the school requires strength of understanding, an unwavering moral purpose to ensuring every student is known, valued and cared for and the courage to think innovatively to truly instill a future focused philosophy in all members of the school community. This is the mantra from which I exist as the lead learner.
Established in 2020, Jordan Springs Public School supports the community with innovative learning spaces, dynamic teaching pedagogy and contemporary infrastructure that is underpinned by our caring and supportive approach to wellbeing.
Boasting 27 learning spaces in the completion of Phase One, our school hosts students from Kindergarten to Year 6 and proudly embeds our inclusive learning philosophy with our support classes where collaboration is seen in its true form. This is also supported by our library, hall and playground facilities which are exceptional in their concept, creation and features.
We have developed every aspect of our school with consideration of the Darug nation on which we meet, landscape on which we work and community in which we teach. I would like to acknowledge the work done in creating our conceptual design by the Yarramundi Aboriginal Educational Consultative Group and Deb Summerhayes, Director of Secondary Education. This relationship and connection to our traditional custodians is something that our school is committed to continuing and enhancing as the school grows.
Jordan Springs Public School is laying a platform of wellbeing aligned with the work of Dr William Glasser. We have established a wellbeing approach to the basic human needs and knowing that when our needs are being met, we are able to be our best selves. These human needs are as follows:
- Belonging
- Power
- Freedom
- Fun
- Survival
These are shared across all aspects of the school and articulate the way in which we will interact with each other and show how every student, teacher, leader and school community can improve every year when they are having their needs met.
In supporting our future focused teaching and learning, we have established our school using technologies and communication systems to enable family's access to see what their children are learning and how to participate in this learning. Our students will be working and communicating with Microsoft Teams. We are excited to be on the journey to be branded a Microsoft school. We will have multiple ICT capabilities that our community will be able to engage with and all of these will centre back to our website.
On behalf of our staff, I would like to welcome you to our school and trust that you will enjoy the experiences we create together and share in our successes, of which I am sure there will be many!
Striving for school excellence for our school,
Kylie Walker
