Our values reflect our culture in which excellence in education is prized and Aspiration, Respect, Integrity, Responsibility and Teamwork underpin all of our actions and work.
We have an active and involved school community, placing students at the centre of all that we do. We provide wonderful facilities including well-appointed classrooms, extensive playgrounds and outdoor play areas, passive play spaces, a well-appointed gymnasium/Visual Arts centre, and an adjoining oval for all students to enjoy.

We aspire to maintain a learning culture that is based on strong relationships and provides the right amount of challenge and support in all learning opportunities.
