Welcome from our principal
Teaching Principal
"Welcome to Dalton Public School, where every child is known, valued, and nurtured. As a small school, we offer a warm, close-knit community where students feel safe, supported, and seen. Here, children aren’t just numbers — they’re individuals with unique talents, dreams, and needs. Our small class sizes allow teachers to truly connect with each student, tailoring instruction to spark curiosity, boost confidence, and encourage academic growth.
In smaller schools like Dalton, strong relationships flourish — not just between students and teachers, but among peers and families too. This fosters a deep sense of belonging and collaboration. Children thrive in an environment where they are heard, respected, and inspired to reach their full potential. At Dalton, we believe the best learning happens when teachers and parents work hand in hand, creating a unified support system that empowers every child. We’re proud to welcome you into our school family."
Dean Tyson, Principal of Dalton Public School
