of operation and caters for students from Pre School to Year 6.
The school has a strong focus on 'working co-operatively with the
School Community to provide a safe, caring and supportive learning
environment. We respect and value the diversity of our community
and place a strong emphasis on teaching and learning and wellbeing
(student, staff and community).'
Our school encourages and values 'trust, partnerships and effective
communication' across the whole school community. We focus on improving
student achievement and outcomes and meeting individual needs by
implementing relevant, interesting class and support programs using
particular facilities and resources. These include Collaborative
/ Team teaching approaches, Buddy Class program, specialist computer
lessons, Physical Education program, Early Childhood Literacy, Numeracy
and Perceptual Motor programs, Resource program, Quicksmart Maths
program, Special Education program, On Task Training, Social Skills
programs, Rock and Water program, leadership opportunities, School

Further development of the playground and facilities for effective
play and learning continues to be a priority for School Council.
Their achievements include new playground equipment, various types
of seating and shaded areas, new sandpit and extensive fencing of
the school grounds and play areas.
With the school's inclusion in the Early Age of Entry Trial this
year the Early Learning Unit is now well established and provides
a safe play environment for our younger students. Classes in the
Upper Primary area of the school have been organised in Year 6 and
Year 6/5 groupings to facilitate Middle Years implementation and
strategies.
An active School Council with various Sub-Committee is in operation.
Where possible community and parent support in partnership with
the school is utilised to assist students, classes and school programs.
