School statement

Our school is supportive of students, parents and staff and good relationships exist among these groups. The development of these relationships takes place through academic, sporting and cultural pursuits and is a strong focus of the school, aligning with our vision of our school as a great place to learn. In actualising this we take very seriously our commitment to providing a quality curriculum experience for all students and are guided by the principles of effective learning and teaching, while embedding Aboriginal perspectives into curriculum development. Our curriculum is supported by clearly defined core curricula in English and Maths and we have high expectations of students in relation to this. Supported by our relentless focus on continued improvement, our students have achieved well in the 2009 NAPLAN testing. We have been identified as a National Partnership school and will join this program in 2010. Student support programs are provided by teachers, a guidance officer, a chaplain, learning support teachers, extension programs and special education teachers. Our school offers a variety of sporting and arts programs for students according to their interests. Visit the school website.
