“Caring for Students and Striving for Excellence”


Our school motto is supported by the statement over our front entrance –

“Every child has the right to learn: Every child has the right to be safe”.


We are able to deliver this due to:

  • a professional and committed staff team
  • provision of quality resources and facilities
  • on-going curriculum review and development to ensure relevancy and student engagement
  • a comprehensive co-curricular program including leadership skills, personal development, camps, debating, cultural activities, community service and sports
  • working in partnership with parents / carers to develop student potential.
