With an enrolment of approximately 720 students, the school provides educational programs for students from a range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. The school consists of 28 mainstream classes. A high-quality learning environment is provided by a highly qualified and dedicated staff comprising a dynamic mix of highly experienced and early career teachers. Our core business is to improve student outcomes in literacy, numeracy and all key learning areas, developing outstanding inclusive teaching programs that meet the individual needs of the learner, encouraging students to pursue academic and personal excellence. Learning is supported by futures driven learning principles, that are deeply engaging and academically rigorous, developing the skills, knowledge and dispositions students need. The core values of the school are embedded within our student welfare policies and programs which promote the Positive Behaviour for Learning model. The core expectations of being Motivated, Respectful, Proud and Safe are consistently embraced by students, staff and the community. A strong partnership exists between the school and the wider community, including an international school in Shanghai.

Maintenance

To ensure the safety, reliability and longevity of our schools, every school across NSW receives maintenance. The Department undertakes preventative and routine maintenance every year, and repairs as needed. The Department also reviews the planned maintenance program for each school every year and reviews those items that are predicted to require work to help prolong the life of the school buildings and facilities.

Demountables

Demountables have been part of the NSW education system for many decades and will continue to be used across the state. Demountable classrooms are modern, air-conditioned rooms that provide students and teaching staff with excellent quality facilities. The learning spaces have the same range of technology that is available in permanent spaces. We review school accommodation needs each year, looking at changing enrolment patterns and other factors to prepare for the upcoming school year. This helps to identify schools that need new demountables and schools where they can removed. Most demountable movement takes place between October and February and we report our annual demountable statistics each April. Additional demountable installations can occur outside this window to support capital works and maintenance projects in schools or emergency responses to natural disasters.

We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
