Community
Our community is the beating heart of our school. From our dedicated staff who educate, inspire and nurture our students to the many families who are active in their child’s learning, we cherish the partnership. Whether joining us for social events, assisting in classrooms, or contributing to our parish, our families play a vital role in creating a warm and supportive community where everyone belongs.

We strive to ignite curiosity and growth in every student, creating lessons that are engaging, relevant, and personalised to meet the needs of each child. Maintaining the highest standards in education, students participate in two hours of Literacy and one hour of Numeracy each day. We support students to work collaboratively, think critically and discover their passions while reaching their full academic and personal potential.
Kindness and gratitude
When we sow the seeds of kindness and gratitude, we enhance our students' wellbeing and learning environment. Through structured mindfulness practices, daily reflections, and celebrating our individual and shared success, we cultivate a growth mindset and inspire positive habits and relationships.
