Our priority is to ensure that each student develops literacy and numeracy skills so that they are able to achieve success in whatever career they choose to pursue.
Our staff embed literacy and numeracy skills in innovative teaching and learning programs. We use individual learning profiles for each student to ensure that their particular needs are met in the classroom.
We believe that parents are an integral part of our school community and engage with them in a range of ways.
