Principal Message

Ngatanwarr, welcome to our amazing little school community. We are fortunate to have a uniquely beautiful environment on Gundtijmara land in which we live, work, play and thrive. 

We pride ourselves on the community feel of our school, student leadership endeavour and the academic excellence for which we are known. 

Curriculum wise, we are dedicated to a Structured Literacy (Science of Reading) approach, supporting solid staff understandings of effective pedagogy, and explicit teaching of literacy. We are a Primary Maths Science Specialist school and devoted to improving the teaching and learning of numeracy. We have collaboratively developed extensive documentation supporting our work, Instructional Models,  Literacy and Numeracy Scope and Sequence planning documents, Assessment Schedules and so much more. 

The integrity of our school is demonstrated by positive relationships within our school community and the fact that all we do with teaching and learning that is based on evidence based research. We are a forward thinking staff that ensure we move with the times to provide a first class education to our most precious resource; our children and the future they deserve.

We actively promote many fantastic community events, excursions and sporting activities. Students are encouraged to participate in various leadership opportunities, growing their knowledge of self and others. We challenge and support all students and staff to be the best version of themselves possible, through excellent classroom practice and tiered intervention support.

We are committed to student, staff and community wellbeing through Positive Education, the DET Resilience Rights and Respectful Relationships program, supported by school values- RESPECT, KINDNESS and RESPONSIBILITY.
