Our student population mainly comprises of families with an Anglo-European or Aboriginal heritage. Our key curriculum priorities are literacy, numeracy, science and student wellbeing. 'Program Achieve' is a whole school focus and provides a framework for social skill development and values education. Specialist teaching areas are health and PE. The 'Drug Strategy' and 'Healthy Lifestyles' form part of our core curriculum, and we are part of the 'Eat Well Be Active' program. This focus is further enhanced by our whole school daily fitness program.
