Principal’s Message

At Ethel Gardiner Public School, we proudly live The Grizzly Way each and every day. The Grizzly Way guides how we learn, how we treat one another, and how we show up as a caring, inclusive community. Every student is encouraged to be their authentic self.  

We believe in treating everyone with kindness and respect, and in creating a safe place where students feel welcomed, valued, and included. We celebrate diversity and honour the unique strengths, cultures, and identities that make our community so special.

Our dedicated staff work together to create engaging learning experiences that support the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. We value curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, and we strive to build strong relationships that help students grow in confidence and discover their unique strengths.

The Grizzly Way also reminds us to believe in ourselves and encourage each other. We help students build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of responsibility—for themselves, for our school, and for the world around them.

Families are an essential part of our school community. When we work together, students thrive. We welcome your involvement and partnership as we support learning both at school and at home.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about who we are. We are proud of our students, our staff, and the positive, respectful environment we continue to build together. We are proud of our students, our staff, and the strong sense of belonging that defines our school.

Warmly,
Paddi Dewmyn
