Our principal and staff
At Binya Public School, we provide a high-quality education that empowers students to excel academically, socially, and emotionally. With dedicated teachers and a supportive community, together we nurture individual growth, guided by NSW Department of Education principles. Through dynamic learning experiences, we cultivate critical thinking, collaboration, and lifelong learning enthusiasm, fostering confident, compassionate leaders.
Welcome from our principal
“At Binya PS, we value strong partnerships with families to support each child’s educational, social, emotional, and physical growth. The primary years lay the foundation for lifelong learning, resilience, and friendships across our K–6 setting and school network.
Our programs are inquiry-based and child-centred, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and communication. Students are supported to learn at their own pace, beyond age-based expectations. Staff continually train in current practices to ensure every child can reach their full potential.
We warmly invite parents to be involved in school life through open classrooms, assemblies, Kidz Konnect, and our active P&C.”
Karen Conlan, Principal of Binya Public School
