Our principal and staff

Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.

Welcome from our principal

At our school, we pride ourselves on being a family-orientated community where every student is known, supported and valued. We are committed to providing academic, social and emotional support for all students, ensuring they have every opportunity to thrive and succeed.

We encourage our students to reach their full potential by celebrating their successes and fostering personal growth across all areas of learning. Our programs are designed to promote meaningful engagement, where a range of real-life learning experiences deepen understanding and inspire curiosity for each individual student.

At the heart of our philosophy is the belief is that wellbeing must come first. When students feel safe, supported and connected, they are able to achieve success in their learning with support from our committed and caring teachers and SLSO's.

We highly value the involvement of our families and warmly welcome all individuals into our school community. Together, we create an environment where every child can learn and flourish.
