The current enrolments are 497. 80% of our students are from a non-English speaking background. We value cultural diversity, respect and tolerance and a strong EAL/D (English as an Additional Language/Dialect) basis to our teaching and learning programs.
We are well-placed for 21st Century learners via our well-resourced library, dedicated computer room, access to iPads and laptops, and flexible classrooms and beautiful learning spaces. Our school grounds are extensively grassed with sports facilities and vegetable gardens included.
