Acting Principal's Message
My name is Brooke Kogelman and I have worked in education for 20 years. I feel incredibly privileged to lead Menzies Creek Primary School and to work alongside such dedicated staff and an incredibly supportive community.
I understand that choosing the right school for your child is an important decision, and at Menzies Creek Primary School, we are proud to offer an environment that prioritises individualised learning, fosters strong community connections, and supports every child to grow and thrive.
As a small school, we are able to take the time to truly know every child, not just as learners, but as individuals. We understand that every student brings their own strengths, interests and ways of learning, and we work closely with them, and you, to support their growth academically, socially and emotionally.
Our classrooms are calm and engaging. We value curiosity, encourage students to have a go, and create opportunities for them to build confidence in themselves and their learning. Whether inside the classroom or making the most of our beautiful outdoor surroundings, learning is thoughtfully designed to be responsive to students’ point-of-need.
We offer a broad and engaging curriculum that supports strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, while also providing rich learning opportunities across areas such as the Arts, Auslan, Physical and Health Education and STEM and Sustainability our through our Kitchen Garden Program. Our approach ensures students develop the essential skills they need, while also engaging in real-world learning opportunities that make their learning meaningful and relevant.
A defining feature of our school is the strong sense of community. Families are welcomed, relationships are valued, and there is a shared commitment to ensuring every child feels a sense of belonging. It is this partnership between school and home that allows our students to thrive.
I warmly invite you to visit our school, meet our staff and experience what makes Menzies Creek such a special place to learn and grow.
