Principal and staff profiles
Welcome from our Principal
Mrs Bec Marshall, School Principal
Welcome to Surrey Downs Primary School, a warm and inclusive community where every child is known, valued, and celebrated. Our school is built on the belief that when children feel they belong, they are ready to learn, grow, and thrive. This is at the heart of our vision and captured in our motto: Belong. Explore. Become.
At Surrey Downs, we are committed to wellbeing, inclusion, and creating a place for everyone. Our values of RISE – Respect, Integrity, Strength, and Empathy guide how we teach, learn, and interact, helping students develop both academically and personally.
We provide a supportive and engaging environment where students can explore their passions, build confidence, and develop the skills and dispositions they need for the future. Whether in the classroom, specialist programs, or extra-curricular opportunities, every child has the chance to flourish.
I warmly invite you to join our school community and experience what makes Surrey Downs Primary School a place where every child can belong, explore, and become their best self.
-Bec Marshall
