A strong pastoral care program ensures students demonstrate high standards through the school's inclusive and safe learning environment. The whole school approach of 'Friendly Schools and Families' supports the positive school culture. The school uses funding supplied through the Behaviour Management in Schools (BMiS) strategy to professionally develop teachers in the Classroom Management Strategies (CMS) program. The placement of Getting it Right Literacy and Numeracy specialist teachers at the school, and a Science specialist teacher, assists to reinforce a strong focus on curriculum development in these learning areas.
