Students may learn in many ways, using written materials and online technologies.

Engagement with creative, challenging and blended learning opportunities is supplemented by inclusive student wellbeing programs and the school's partnerships with communities, families and other schools. Our high expectations are supported by a caring and nurturing environment with strong commitments to sustainability and social justice. We inspire students to learn and live their dreams and are proud of our students whose courage and commitment is reflected in their determination to do their best.

Our website is for communication, collaboration and the celebration of student achievement, showcasing so much of the spirit and success of our school community. Additional information about the school can be accessed on the school website:
