We are committed to continuious improvement and achieving excellence in learning and teaching at every level in the belief that every child can learn. Children are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviour and are provided with the skills and attitudes to contribute to local and global communities.We have a focus on developing the potential of all our students and also offer specialist programs in Health , Physical Education,and Art. Strong community partnerships enable us to participate in the Annual Shakespeare on the River Festival, The Energy Breakthrough Challenge at Maryborough, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program and embedding the Studies of Asia at all levels of the curriculum. The school has been a major beneficiary of the BER building program with the construction of a state of the art flexible learning centre which accommodates 4 classrooms, administration and open flexible learning space and the LTC building has been modified and refurbished to provide flexible learning spaces. Both buildings are conducive to the implementation of contemporary pedagogical practices and colloborative learning. The school retains the original school building which houses the teaching kitchen and art and music room.
