About Our School

wolf face filled with words that describe our school

 

 

At Barrhaven Public School, we are the Wolfpack – a community where every child is valued and supported. We believe that strong relationships are the foundation of a successful education, and our dedicated teachers and staff work hard to meet the needs of each of their students to help them reach their full potential. We cultivate the 'Wolfpack spirit' that fosters collaboration, kindness, and a love of learning among our students.

What our students say:

"The Wolfpack is like a family, everyone knows you."
