Our school includes the region's Intensive English Centre for new arrivals and a support unit for students with special needs. We promote high expectations and standards among our students with an emphasis on academic performance, attitude to school and contribution to the community. Parents support our strong stance on school uniform, we are widely acknowledged for our excellent student welfare programs and we are a constant focus for very positive reports in the local media. |
Our school has won wide acclaim across the public education system. We have received the prestigious Director General's Award for our work in both literacy and parent participation and our students have won state and national visual literacy (film making) awards. The Vinson Inquiry into public education identified our improved HSC results and approach to teacher training and development as programs of excellence.
Our motto : 'A Time to Build' defines our purpose. We create a school environment where students achieve academic success, develop social awareness and build self esteem. To broaden the learning process, students participate in an extensive range of extra curricula experiences. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that students develop knowledge, skills, attitudes and values which will help them become responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to Australian society.
