Welcome from our principal

On behalf of the staff and students, I warmly welcome you to Bellata Public School’s website. As a proud principal of our magnificent small school, I am excited to share what makes our community truly special.

At Bellata Public School, we embrace our core values of "Work and Learn," fostering a culture where every student is encouraged to strive for excellence in all their endeavours. Our unique setting, surrounded by the beauty of nature, provides an ideal backdrop for outdoor learning experiences that enrich our curriculum and inspire curiosity.

Our wonderful school grounds are not just a place for education but a vibrant environment where students can explore, play, and grow. With long-established educational facilities dating back 125 years, we are committed to maintaining a rich tradition of quality education while adapting to the needs of modern learners.

We take pride in nurturing a caring environment where every child feels valued and supported. At Bellata Public School, we believe that every student has the potential to shine, and our dedicated staff works tirelessly to create a safe and inclusive space for all.
