Our motto "Strive to Excel" highlights our expectation and drive to see every student achieve their very best.

An enthusiastic, caring and engaging approach to teaching and learning is evident and the partnership between home and school is considered vital to the achievement of our vision of a co-operative school community supporting Safe, Respectful, Active Learning...
