Excellence in teaching will result in high levels of student engagement and learning. Teachers set high standards whilst delivering a rigorous curriculum which is both challenging and rewarding for all students. Programs are relevant and link to ‘real’ world experiences.
An Academic Excellence Program, leading to a university pathway, is a feature of our academic excellence from the school’s foundation year. Specialist teachers for Mathematics, Science, English, Humanities and Social Science, as well as The Arts, Technologies and Health & Physical Education are the basis of our recruitment. Future pathways will place significant emphasis on Science, Technologies, Engineering Mathematics.

Students receive a 21st century education in state-of-the-art facilities, an education that combines a rich curriculum with high expectations and an encouragement to thrive.
Student voice is a significant feature of our school culture and includes feedback to teachers. We leverage digital technology to enhance learning experiences (deep learning) and to communicate with parents and key stakeholders.

Our school is multicultural and our connection to land, water and culture drives our engagement with community.
We practice mutual respect and maintain positive relationships with all stakeholders. Student learning and achievement is maximized when there is a shared goal of success for each student – ‘it takes a village to raise a child’.

Flexible learning spaces enable teachers to personalise learning for our students and create an environment which fosters curiosity, enhances creativity, and engenders critical thinking.
We embrace diversity and provide an inclusive learning environment where all students are valued. Learning will be visible with clear lesson intentions and success criteria, a feature of our quality teaching framework.

Staff wellbeing is prioritised with high levels of support, accompanying a framework of high accountability. Teaching staff commit to an agreed quality teaching framework and a regime of classroom observations. Professional learning and a culture of continual reflection and feedback form the basis of our work.
Teachers lead and promote co-curricular programs to create opportunities for all students. All staff set and maintain high standards of professionalism, including that of professional communication and professional dress, as we strive to develop a culture of excellence.

Leadership is visible and ‘connected to the classroom’. Collaboration, support and feedback is a strong feature, with a focus on creating and embedding a culture that values everyone. Transparency, equity, collegiality and integrity are cornerstones as we seek to ‘be the best we can be’ and foster a ‘you can do it’ culture.
