Welcome

Welcome to our school website, and to the wealth of information that will help you learn about the high quality education and care our students enjoy. With student enrolments around 220, our school is small enough for students to feel known, understood, and supported in their learning but large enough to allow a variety of learning pathways.
We pride ourselves on the standard of curriculum delivery, pastoral care and student outcomes. Positive student outcomes extend beyond academic success: the school vision is of the development of students’ character, guided by the school values of respect, resilience and curiosity. These values are foundational to our carefully-structured pastoral and academic programs, and to the high expectations held of students at all times of the day
School staff strive to ensure that student learning is conducted in a welcoming environment, where students are challenged appropriately to demonstrate excellence. Excellence is not measured only by academic achievement: excellence of application, effort, and progress towards personal targets are also celebrated.
Student excellence is best promoted through a partnership with parents and carers, which we seek to build and maintain. Students benefit from an extensive range of clubs, sporting and cultural excursions and work experience.
Please take a moment to explore how our high expectations are communicated; the support structures in place to promote student success; and organisational arrangements that are designed to lead to student success.
I look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff, our parents and our students to achieve our common goal of student success.
