Welcome from our Principal

Mrs Voula Pounendis, School Principal

Welcome to Virginia Primary School, our vibrant and inclusive learning community, where values of Respect, Caring, Fairness, Diversity, and Achievement are not just words but the foundation of our school culture. As the proud Principal of VPS, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all students, families, and staff. I feel privileged to be in a role whereby I can make a difference in the lives of our students, staff and families.

At Virginia Primary School, our mission is to inspire a love for learning, empower students to reach their full potential, and cultivate a strong sense of community. We strive to create an inclusive and supportive educational environment that values all student’s unique strengths and abilities, and that fosters personal growth and development.

At the heart of our mission are the values of wellbeing and high-quality education. We understand the importance of creating a supportive and nurturing environment that promotes not only academic excellence but also the holistic development of each student. Our committed and dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure that every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

We celebrate our rich tapestry of cultures, making our school a true melting pot of diversity. We firmly believe that embracing our differences and similarities, enhance the learning experience for everyone. Our commitment to being an inclusive and multicultural organisation is unwavering, creating an environment where every individual feels valued and respected.

As part of our commitment to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students, we offer a range of support services to cater to the diverse needs of our students, including special education programs, counselling services, and English language support. Our team of caring professionals work collaboratively to ensure that every student receives the necessary support to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are dedicated to providing opportunities that extend beyond the classroom, encouraging our students to become lifelong learners. By nurturing a love for knowledge and curiosity, we aim to equip them with the skills and mindset necessary for success in an ever-changing world.

Virginia Primary School recognises that the partnership between families and the school community is crucial in providing students with the best opportunity to thrive. Together, we can create a strong foundation for our students’ success, fostering a sense of belonging and a love for learning.

I thoroughly love my job and am excited about the journey ahead. I look forward to witnessing the growth and achievements of each and every member of our VPS family.

Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children.

Warm regards,
