improving literacy and numeracy outcomes for all students. We are committed to
delivering researched based pedagogy in both English and mathematics across the
school.
Staff members are highly dedicated professionals, including early career and
experienced teachers. All staff hold high expectations for teaching and
learning and demonstrate this through commitment to their own ongoing learning.
The school aims to provide an environment which encourages all students to
achieve their full potential and develop as life-long learners.
Practices to ensure high levels of student well-being are of the highest
priority and encompass all areas of student development. The Positive Behaviour
