We encourage the children to develop their own talents and interests and we support this by ensuring the children experience a wide range of activities both within and out with the school day.

Our school rules, developed in consultation with the children, have identified the following three key themes:

Ready, Respectful, Safe.

We strongly believe that learning should be fun, innovative and motivating ultimately ensuring the children become successful learners, confident individuals responsible citizens and effective contributors.
