Leadership Profiles

Welcome from our Principal

Mr Nathan Hunter, School Principal

Welcome to Goolwa Primary School, a vibrant learning community where every child is encouraged to Aim High, Work Hard, and Be Kind. As the Principal, I am proud to lead a dedicated team of teachers and staff who are passionate about nurturing the potential of every student.

Our school is nestled in the heart of beautiful Goolwa, just moments from the stunning Murray River and the Southern Ocean. Our spacious and well-maintained grounds provide a welcoming environment for children to play, explore, and learn. The natural surroundings foster curiosity and creativity, ensuring our students thrive both in and out of the classroom.

At Goolwa Primary School, our values guide everything we do. We inspire our students to strive for personal bests, apply themselves with determination, and always treat others with kindness and respect. Together, we build a supportive community where learning is engaging, dynamic, and inclusive.

We warmly invite you to explore our website to learn more about our wonderful school and encourage you to visit in person to experience our welcoming community and unique environment first-hand.
