School motto: learning for life
Vision
We strive to be a school where staff, students and the community are passionate about learning and quality teaching. Our staff have high expectations of all learners and know what to do for every individual and the ways to best support students. Our teachers regularly review evidence and research of best-practice approaches to ensure we are improving student outcomes. Our teachers collaborate and support each other through the challenges they face and learn from each other’s unique experiences and perspectives. We have a deep loyalty to our peers, our students and to the reputation of the school in our community.
