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
Welcome to our school, where excellence is at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to help every student reach their full potential, with a strong focus on literacy, numeracy, and technology. We are committed to being a strong culturally responsive and inclusive school where every Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander learner and student is known, valued, and cared for to learn, grow, and belong.
We offer a wide range of opportunities to foster growth, including student leadership, music, sporting, robotic and cultural programs. Our multi award winning Kitchen and Garden program supports healthy living while linking directly to the curriculum, with students gaining hands-on experience in cooking, gardening, and sustainability.
We are proud of our school community and the positive, engaged environment we’ve built together reflecting our school motto “Together We Learn and Achieve” I look forward to continuing the journey where all students reach their potential!
