We pride ourselves on having a friendly and supportive learning environment that has a strong focus on high quality teaching and learning, the fostering of positive relationships within the school community and on student wellbeing. As a school community, we are proud of our fine achievements in student learning across all curriculum areas, especially in the areas of literacy and numeracy. We

offer diverse and dynamic programs that target the individual needs of children, ensuring that each child attains their full potential. The current specialist programs that we offer are Physical Education, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, and our Language other than English (LOTE) is Mandarin.

Our staffing profile reflects a breadth of experience and expertise and this contributes to quality classroom programs. Just as our students inquire, solve problems and work cooperatively together, so to do our teachers. Teachers work and plan in teams and are continually improving their teaching and learning techniques through quality professional development.

A strength of the school is certainly the strong school/home partnership that exists in our school community. Parents are warmly welcomed into the school to assist and become involved in many different areas of the daily operation of the school. We encourage parents to take an active interest in their child’s educational and social progress. We value parents as a most important part of the team that strives to achieve the best possible outcomes for our children.

Our school facilities and grounds are fantastic and provide a fabulous learning environment for our students. With four large playgrounds, open plan classrooms, access to current digital technology such as iPads etc. we aim to provide the best education possible for all our students.

We are extremely proud of our students’ academic results and their achievements and we value their ideas, opinions and contributions to the school community. The school values of Respect, Honesty, Responsibility and Fairness are most evident at our school, which has a friendly and caring climate.

Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision and we are always delighted to welcome new families to our school. We do conduct regular school tours so you can come along and see us in action for yourself; we know you won’t be disappointed.
