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 community! At our beautiful, small school, we pride ourselves on fostering an environment where every child feels a strong sense of inclusivity and belonging. We know our students well and are dedicated to ensuring they connect, succeed, and thrive both academically and personally.
Curiosity and innovative thinking are at the heart of our learning culture. We challenge our students to explore new ideas and develop their potential through a range of engaging opportunities. Our commitment to High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) ensures that every learner is supported to reach their fullest capabilities.
Wellbeing is a cornerstone of our approach, as we believe that happy, healthy students are the foundation for success. Despite our small size, we embrace every opportunity for our students to participate, learn, and grow. For a small school, we do BIG things.
Thank you for being part of our vibrant community. We look forward to working together to inspire and empower every child to shine.
