We want our student to be confident citizens with academic, social and emotional skills that can be of assistance for life.

We want our students to be able to get along with their peers and adults and show 'resilience' to be able to keep learning academically and to engage socially with others in a positive manner.

All students in the various `Programs for Students with a Disability¿ showed progress at 'satisfactory' or 'above' in achieving their goals. Non-attendance is monitored daily and is a shared responsibility with the Student Wellbeing team, teachers and the families of children. Students participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities and have a developing `Student Agency and Voice¿ in all that we 'say and do'. We have a School Sports Academy to promote student engagement with higher level participation and training e.g. Football, Netball, Hockey and Soccer and Basketball

We have an active Junior School Council (JSC). We are proud of our school and the relationship it enjoys with its families and the wider community.
