Principal and staff profiles
Welcome from our Principal
Mrs Emma Hayward, School Principal
As the Principal of Moorak Primary and Preschool, I would like to welcome you to our small-school community. Here, we all work together- children, staff and families- to ensure all children learn and thrive.
We are a unique site, encompassing a site-based preschool allowing for excellent transition processes as children enter their educational journeys. Staff work hard to ensure we provide a rigorous, knowledge-rich curriculum equipping children with the tools needed for lifelong learning.
At Moorak Primary and Preschool, we ensure all children are heard, seen and valued as we create learning opportunities with and alongside them and families, ensuring we are available and open to parent /guardian feedback and discussion.
If you’re interested in learning more, please book a school tour through our front office!
