The Leichhardt Public School difference
High expectations supported by evidence-informed, collaborative practice.
Our staff work in highly skilled stage teaching and support teams, using deep curriculum knowledge, differentiation and adjustments, and support to ensure excellence and equity for every learner. “Good enough” is never enough - we strive for continuous improvement.
Enrichment opportunities that cultivate curiosity and grow confidence.
From philosophy, art, and sport, to sustainability, First Nations education, High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) initiatives and extra-curricular opportunities including a rich music program, we create enriching experiences that go beyond the basics. Students explore, inquire and take risks in a school environment that nurtures wellbeing, creativity and a love of learning.

At LPS, we champion student voice, celebrate diversity, and prioritise belonging so every child feels safe and valued, and ready to learn, lead, and succeed. Our wellbeing and student support practices are strong and transparent, ensuring that every student is empowered to do their best.
Principal's message
Welcome to Leichhardt Public School.
As Principal of this extraordinary school, I feel incredibly grateful for the vibrant and caring learning environment our students step into each morning. Leichhardt Public School is more than classrooms and playgrounds, it’s a connected village of students, teachers, families, support staff and community, all working together to ensure our young people reach their potential.
It truly takes a village, and we’re proud of the one we’ve built together.
I look forward to welcoming you to our school and sharing the many things that make Leichhardt Public School such a special place to learn and grow.
Warm regards,
Dan Muir-Smith
Principal
