Welcome from our Principal

Our teachers use engaging, proven methods to challenge and motivate all learners. We also focus on building a kind, inclusive community where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
Together, we’re not just preparing students to succeed in school, but to grow as confident lifelong learners ready to make a difference in the world. At Bathurst West, every child’s journey truly matters.
