Our principal and staff

Welcome from our principal
Welcome to Cargo Public School—a place where every child’s uniqueness is celebrated and nurtured. We believe learning should be a personalised journey, empowering students to grow, explore, and excel at their own pace within a supportive and vibrant community.
Our passionate team is dedicated to hands-on, experiential learning—from cultivating our vegetable garden and caring for our chooks to engaging in rich art and cultural programs. These meaningful experiences develop essential skills and foster a strong sense of connection to both our local community and the wider world.
We are proud to collaborate closely with families and neighbouring schools, building a dynamic and inclusive environment grounded in curiosity, creativity, and teamwork.
Thank you for considering Cargo Public School. I look forward to welcoming your family and partnering together to unlock your child’s full potential.
