Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
Welcome.
Since 1965 our school has served a diverse, vibrant, dynamic and culturally rich community. Our school is situated on the traditional lands of the Cabrogal Clan of the Darug nation and we recognise our Aboriginal heritage by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which the school sits and by paying respect to elders past, present and emerging.
Our school prides itself on providing a balanced and inclusive learning experience for all students with the full breadth of curriculum offerings and a wide variety of co-curricular experiences available. We have a dedicated and experienced staff, who in partnership with community stakeholders – students, parents and community partners – work to provide an holistic education for the ‘whole-child’.
Our core values of Respected, Connected and Safe underpin our work in preparing our young people to be engaged citizens of the world. This is nurtured and promoted by experiences both and in beyond the classroom.
