The school has an enrolment of 302 students, including 43 Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students and a diverse population from over 30 different cultural backgrounds. Our school has 3 support classes catering for students with autism and we value and promote inclusion for all.
Our school has a culture of high expectations and relational trust, which has strengthened partnerships between school and home. Our future directions have been defined through deep evaluation and community consultation, including the LLAECG, in order to ensure every student's needs will be strategically supported through our equity funding.
