Welcome from our principal

Welcome to our beautiful school, surrounded by lush bushlands and native wildlife - a perfect setting for learning and growth! We are dedicated to nurturing every student’s wellbeing and unlocking their full intellectual, creative, social, and physical potential. Through our native and vegetable gardens and chicken coop, we teach sustainability and agricultural skills that connect students with the environment.

Our student-centred approach puts each child’s strengths and needs first, with a strong focus on student voice through our Student Ambassadors Project, empowering students to lead and influence positive change.

We foster resilience, kindness, and empathy through our partnership with The Resilience Project and a positive behaviour framework, guided by the values of Respect, Responsibility, and Personal Best.
