Our principal and staff

Welcome from our principal
Welcome to Bayanami Public School
I warmly welcome all families to our school. We are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where every child feels valued, inspired and supported to reach their full potential.
Our school mantra—Connections, Creativity, and Curiosity—reflects everything we stand for.
We foster meaningful connections among students, families, and staff, knowing that strong relationships are the foundation of a thriving learning community.
Creativity is at the heart of our teaching, encouraging students to think imaginatively, express themselves authentically, and solve problems with confidence. Curiosity drives our approach to learning, inspiring students to explore the world around them with wonder, ask questions freely, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
We value each child’s unique strengths and encourage them to grow both as learners and as kind and thoughtful members of society. The education offered at Bayanami Public School offers a vibrant school experience in a first class well resourced setting.
Thank you for choosing our school. We are excited to partner with you in your child’s educational adventure.
Warm regards,
Amanda Connelly, Principal Bayanami Public School
