Our school has much to offer the community we serve:

• We place a high priority on teaching students how to learn and how to relate well to others.
• We encourage students to become independent and motivated life long learners.
• We expect students to respect themselves and each other. We set clearly defined standards of behaviour and expect students to meet them.
• Our school community is a diverse one. We treat each student's needs individually and do our very best to meet them.
• We acknowledge that learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom. We value communication and involvement with parents, caregivers and the community and hence offer regular opportunities to consult with these groups in shaping school policy.
• Our Physically Disabled Resource Centre and Learning Resource Centre are centres where highly qualified staff work with students with physical disabilities and specific learning needs. Wherever possible these students are integrated, with support, into mainstream classes.v
• We attract and retain highly qualified specialist staff, many of whom are regarded outside the school as leaders in their fields.
• We are a smaller school, able to offer individual and personal care and support to all our students.
