Principal and staff profiles
Welcome from our Principal
Mrs Michelle Shepherd, School Principal
As the Principal of Murray Bridge South Primary School, I’d like to welcome you to our friendly school community. Here, we all work together to make sure our school is as supportive of student learning and development as possible.
I’m excited to lead this school because of its reputation for community involvement and its commitment to learning outcomes. I also get to work with a great team who are just as motivated as I am in promoting safe and predictable learning environments. We have a strong emphasis on promoting positive behaviour, with this regularly rewarded and celebrated. An example of this, and a highlight of my role, Principal’s morning tea which is held three times per term.
I’m passionate about making sure every child has the opportunity to succeed. I make sure we can adapt and evolve our approach to teaching. We embrace technology and allow students to explore emerging fields within their learning.
I encourage discussion and feedback to make sure we’re meeting your child’s needs.
