Welcome from our principal
Dear Students, Parents, and Community Members,
Welcome to Raymond Terrace Public School!
As principal, my goal is to ensure our school is a safe, supportive, and inspiring place for every learner.
Our school vision is to inspire learning, build community, and empower every student to thrive in an environment that fosters high expectations. We deliver equity, foster excellence, strengthen student wellbeing, and equip young people to contribute positively to their communities.
At Raymond Terrace PS, we believe every child is unique and capable of remarkable success. Through high-quality explicit teaching, targeted support, and rich learning opportunities, our staff nurture both academic achievement and personal growth.
Partnerships with families and the wider community are vital to what we do. We warmly welcome families and encourage you to stay connected, share your ideas, and participate in school activities.
I look forward to working together with our community to support our students on their learning journey and to celebrate their achievements throughout the year. Thank you for being an important part of the Raymond Terrace PS family.
Warm regards,
Salena Langholz
Principal, Raymond Terrace Public School
