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

“I’m delighted to welcome you to our school - a place of belonging, wonder and learning! Our school has a small community feel where every child is known and every learner treated as an individual. We respect each other, take pride in our efforts and show courage in persisting with tough learning.

We’re proud of our dedicated staff and strong partnerships with families. We've won awards for our play-based Learning Centres and our three-way conversations with parents. Together, we ensure students feel valued and inspired to learn.

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