The former Hebersham Public School deputy principal already sees a pathway to greatness for Bradfordville Public School.

"I will empower every student to be the best version of themselves through focus on high expectations, celebrating individuality and providing equitable opportunities for all," she said.

"All students have the right to an inclusive learning environment that is rich with quality teaching and learning.

"I'm passionate about empowering teachers to think creatively and develop innovative teaching practices to facilitate student engagement and improve student outcomes.

"I will also continue to enrich the school community with its strong ties to the creative arts, physical education and transition to school programs by ensuring the school's standing traditions and excellence in these fields remains a priority."

Bradfordville Public School students are extremely lucky to be in presence of Ms Coupe who believes that vision without action is a daydream.

"As a child, I always remember being told by my teachers to believe in your dreams," Ms Coupe said.

"It is one thing to believe, yet another to make those dreams a reality.

"If you truly want to have your dreams or visions come true, you need to put the hard work in and make it a reality rather than a dream."

Ketryna Coupe comes into the role with a wealth of experience which started in the Northern Territory where she worked closely with local communities to engage students with school.

She has also taught in both mainstream and support class settings across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
