Professional learning is a strong focus. School is ‘buzzing’ with energy and excitement
Staff works in harmony and as a mutually supportive team
Parent support of the school and its programs
Great student-teacher relationships
Differentiated curriculum, which means that each child is taught and extended at their level of ability
Students highly motivated to learn good behavior
Multi-cultural school community is a strong feature
Staff is very caring and the student wellbeing program is exemplary
Facilities and equipment are now first rate
The school has an exemplary, multi-faceted approach to student wellbeing which is led by the Student Wellbeing Coordinator (one of the Assistant Principal) with the support of another teacher
The first two weeks of each school year focus on the ‘Creating Our Learning Environment’ program.

Students who have not conformed to these norms and expectations are involved in ‘Re- Think’ intervention sessions at lunchtimes. These teaching sessions involve thinking skills and values identification.
The school has an anti-bullying approach and social skills development is an important part of the wellbeing program
Development of more engaging school grounds and facilities
The school provides an engaging inquiry learning curriculum and an extensive range of extra and co-curricular activities
