Position Information

Our inclusive school community with 325 students provides a well-rounded education that nurtures academic, creative, social, emotional, and physical growth.

High Potential and Gifted students benefit from specialised literacy and numeracy enrichment, as well as sporting and performing arts opportunities. All students from years 2 to 6 participate in the Kitchen Garden program.

Our active P&C and strong community involvement create a collaborative environment where families, staff, and students work together to achieve shared educational goals. This partnership helps our school stay responsive to community needs while maintaining excellence in all areas of student development.
