Principal’s Message

Welcome to Burnside Primary School.

My name is Katy Lawley, and I am proud to be the Acting Principal at Burnside PS. Since joining the school as Assistant Principal in 2021, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a dedicated team committed to supporting every child’s growth.

At Burnside, we believe that success comes from nurturing both the mind and the whole child. Our dual focus on academic excellence and student wellbeing ensures that learners are not only challenged and inspired in the classroom, but also supported emotionally and socially.

We deliver a rich, rigorous, and future-focused curriculum in a safe and inclusive environment. Our teaching practices are informed by 21st-century learning design, with a strong emphasis on digital literacy, personalised learning, and high expectations for all.

Wellbeing is at the heart of our approach. We foster a culture of respect, resilience, and belonging, and work in partnership with families to ensure each student feels confident, valued, and ready to thrive.

At Burnside Primary School, students are at the centre of everything we do. We strive to empower curious, capable, and compassionate learners—equipped to achieve their best and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. I look forward to meeting you!

Warm regards,

Katy Lawley
