Welcome from our principal
I am so privileged to be principal of Paxton Public School. I am local to the area, settling nearby with my family for the last 10 years.
In late 2015, I began teaching at Paxton Public School and have been here every day since! I relieved as principal from 2019 until Term 4, 2022 before becoming the substantive principal. I am proudly still in this role and feel so blessed to attend such a happy workplace. I am proud to belong at Paxton!
Teri Clark, Principal of Paxton Public School
