Principal Welcome
I’m excited to welcome you to Awaba Public School, where we partner together to help every child thrive.
Our dedicated staff and strong partnerships with families create an environment where students feel valued and inspired to learn.
As a small school, Awaba offers a unique and stable setting, with students spending three to four years in the one learning environment. Students develop strong bonds with the teachers and each other to succeed.
I warmly invite you to visit us and discover what makes our school so special.
We look forward to welcoming you into our community.

Ongoing professional development helps them stay updated with the latest teaching methods, educational research, and curriculum changes. This continuous learning also enables them to better meet the diverse needs of their students and foster a more engaging and effective learning environment.
