Principal's Message
What Makes a Good School Culture?
I believe it starts with connections — strong and overlapping interactions among all members of the school community. Having good school culture is no longer an option. In fact, having a great school culture is expected at Port Macquarie Campus.
Putting trust in my teaching staff goes a long way towards positive school culture, because trust leads staff to help your children grow. Teachers who are convinced of a larger common goal are people who are excited to be part of a larger purpose. Our moral purpose is to meet the educational needs of our students to the best of our abilities.
You can’t beat having a whole staff who are pleasant and friendly to each other, and are both good at, and love, what they are doing. No program, activity or set of rules tops having happy and fulfilled teachers who feel that what they are doing matters. Their teaching matters.
The best culture makes everyone - students, teachers, parents and carers - feel safe and welcome, never excluded or uncomfortable.

Meaghan Cook is a raising money for Stars of the Hastings - Dance for Cancer. With a tight knit family, Meaghan is inspired by her 3 children to do her best and keep going even when the going gets tough.
Cancer has touched her life, with her beautiful niece one of the lucky ones who successfully fought breast cancer. Yet she sadly lost a dear friend to cancer several years ago. Meaghan has a firm belief that we should all embrace opportunities for professional and personal growth. Thus, she’s embracing this opportunity with both hands, or should be say her dancing feet!
She is encouraged by the research developments that are improving cancer outcomes and excited to contribute to the valuable work of Cancer Council NSW.
