The school values collaborative professional learning and provides opportunities for joint planning, classroom observation and coaching.This year the school has initiated reading intervention programs to support students requiring remediation and also is in the process of developing the library into a future focused learning space.
Our students enjoy the additional benefits and support received from a highly active and motivated Parents and Citizens' Association, who play an integral part in the school's decision making processes.
