Each students language and literacy abilities are assessed to ensure their individual learning needs are catered for.
Students also learn within the context of the wider school, with compulsory technology classes. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of other opportunities available to them such as talent development, performing arts, music, sports and school leadership roles.
