Our principal and staff

Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.

Welcome from our principal

"It is a privilege to welcome you to our inclusive and supportive school community, where we create an environment for every child to thrive. We value respect, curiosity and teamwork. We’re proud of our dedicated staff, who work with families to develop strong partnerships. Together, we ensure students feel valued and inspired to learn.

Our students are at the centre of everything we do. We are committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment built on our core values of safe, respectful, learners. These values guide not only learning in the classroom, but as values for life. We are proud to offer tailored support through targeted programs and community partnerships to meet our students needs.

I invite you to explore our website to discover what makes our school special. We look forward to welcoming you into our community."
