Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to providing a positive and supportive learning environment in which all students are motivated to aim high and strive to achieve their best in all aspects of school life.
Welcome from our principal
A defining element of the culture which characterises our school is the outstanding level of care, respect, tolerance and responsibility displayed by students in their interactions with their peers.
Educational programs are planned and implemented with a view to impacting positively on every child’s academic, cultural, sporting and social development. All members of staff are also very conscious of the importance of promoting and nurturing the values which will help our students to make positive contributions to Australian society later in life.
