Why choose us?

Our student success looks like:

Progress every year

At our school, we focus on ensuring every student makes continuous progress in their learning. Each year, students build on their existing knowledge and skills, developing a deeper understanding across all areas of the curriculum. By setting achievable goals and providing targeted support, we help every child move forward and experience success.

Problem-solving & critical thinking

We believe that preparing students for the future means teaching them how to think, not just what to think. Through hands-on learning, open-ended questions, and real-world challenges, we encourage students to analyse, evaluate, and problem-solve. These critical thinking skills empower them to approach new situations with confidence and creativity.

Positive attitudes

A love of learning is at the heart of our school. We create a safe and supportive environment where students feel encouraged to take risks, try new things, and embrace challenges. By nurturing curiosity and celebrating effort, we help students develop positive attitudes that motivate them to keep learning and growing.

Ownership of learning

We empower students to take responsibility for their own learning journey. They are encouraged to set personal goals, monitor their progress, and reflect on their achievements. By fostering independence and self-awareness, we help students become active participants in their education and develop lifelong learning habits.

Growth mindset

At our school, we teach students that mistakes are an important part of learning. By developing a growth mindset, students learn to persist through challenges and see setbacks as opportunities to improve. We celebrate effort, resilience, and perseverance, helping students build the confidence to keep trying—even when tasks are difficult.

Celebrating success

Success comes in many forms, and we make sure every achievement is valued. From academic milestones and sporting triumphs to personal growth and acts of kindness, we recognise and celebrate the unique strengths of every student. By acknowledging a wide range of accomplishments, we foster pride, motivation, and a strong sense of belonging.

Pride & motivation

When students are proud of their achievements, they are inspired to aim even higher. We create a learning environment where accomplishments are recognised, and students feel confident to take on new challenges. By building this sense of pride, we nurture motivated learners who are eager to explore, grow, and succeed.

Our students have access to:

Excursions

We offer thoughtfully planned excursions that extend learning beyond the school grounds. These experiences allow students to explore the real-world connections to their studies, engage with their local community, and develop independence and confidence. Whether it’s visiting museums, environmental centres, historical landmarks, or cultural events, our excursions enrich students’ understanding and broaden their perspectives.

Incursions

Our school regularly hosts incursions, bringing experts and interactive experiences directly to our students. These engaging sessions may include performances, demonstrations, cultural workshops, and guest speakers who inspire and educate. Incursions allow students to deepen their learning while sparking curiosity and fostering creativity.

Extra-curricular activities

We offer a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities designed to develop students’ talents, interests, and leadership skills. From sports teams and creative arts programs to coding clubs, chess, acedemic challenges and environmental initiatives, there is something for everyone. These activities encourage collaboration, resilience, and personal growth while helping students discover new passions.

A wide variety of subjects

Our school provides a comprehensive curriculum that caters to different learning styles and interests. Students engage in a balanced program across English, Mathematics, Science, and the Humanities, complemented by opportunities in Creative Arts, Technology, and Physical Education. By offering diverse subjects, we empower students to develop a broad skill set and prepare them for future pathways.

We offer students:

Student Learning Support Officers (SLSOs) in the classroom

Our Student Learning Support Officers work alongside teachers to provide targeted assistance where it’s needed most. Whether supporting individuals or small groups, SLSOs help students stay engaged, build confidence, and achieve success in their learning. Their presence ensures that every child receives the attention and guidance they need to thrive.

Teaching and learning adjustments

We understand that every student learns at a different pace and in different ways. That’s why we make tailored teaching and learning adjustments to meet individual needs. From modifying tasks and providing additional resources to using specialised strategies, we ensure all students have equitable access to the curriculum and opportunities to succeed.

Extension activities for students who need extra challenge

For students who are ready to go further, we offer a range of extension activities designed to challenge and inspire. These opportunities encourage deeper thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, allowing students to extend their learning beyond the core curriculum. By catering to individual strengths, we help students reach their full potential and foster a love of lifelong learning.

Wellbeing and counselling support

We believe that students learn best when they feel safe, supported, and understood. Our wellbeing and counselling programs provide emotional and social support for students who need it, helping them build resilience and confidence. By working closely with families and staff, we create a caring environment where students feel valued and empowered to thrive.

We create a welcoming community by:

Supporting students learning English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D)
We provide specialised support for students learning English as an additional language or dialect to help them build language skills and succeed in all areas of learning. Our dedicated EAL/D teachers work closely with students and families, tailoring teaching strategies to meet individual needs and ensure every child feels confident and included.

Acknowledging and celebrating events such as Harmony Day and NAIDOC Week
Our school proudly acknowledges and celebrates important cultural events like Harmony Day and NAIDOC Week. These occasions provide meaningful opportunities for students and staff to learn about, respect, and appreciate the diverse cultures within our community, fostering a sense of unity and belonging.

Incorporating culturally inclusive school events
We organise a variety of school events that reflect and honour the cultural backgrounds of our students and their families. By embracing inclusive activities and celebrations, we create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone’s culture is valued and shared, enriching the whole school community.

Ensuring cultural safety for all students
Creating a culturally safe environment is a priority at our school. We promote respect, understanding, and acceptance, ensuring that all students feel secure, valued, and free from discrimination. This supportive atmosphere helps students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
