The school has a strong mindset of continuous improvement resulting in hard working students, dedicated teachers, and a positive school culture.
All teachers deliver high quality, differentiated learning resultant from a high level of instructional skills, tactics, and outstanding curriculum knowledge. This in combination enhances each child’s success as a learner.
We provide positive support programs to focus on children’s mental health and wellbeing in order for our students to be mindful, empathetic and purposeful contributors to society. With access to high quality learning opportunities in Science, The Arts, Languages and Physical Education we provide opportunities for students to excel in fun and challenging curriculum areas.
We actively promote children’s learning through worthwhile and challenging experiences and interactions that foster high-level thinking skills. We use strategies such as modeling and demonstrating, open questioning, speculating, explaining, engaging in shared thinking and problem solving to extend children’s thinking and learning.
We aim to foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment while delivering excellence in education.
