I am proud to be the Principal of Caversham Valley PS and have the opportunity to not only lead the talented and dedicated staff who work here, but also the vibrant families of our community.
As a staff and school we believe that diversity, inclusivity and integrity are our strengths as we strive to develop collaborative relationships with our community.
Our values of Excellence; Inclusivity; High Quality Teaching; Strong Community; and Care will enable us to create a safe environment that fosters student engagement, growth and the pursuit of excellence.
