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
We are delighted to welcome you and excited to share the unique and nurturing environment we offer. At our school, every child is supported to flourish through respect, curiosity, and teamwork. Our dedicated staff work closely with families to create a place where students feel valued, inspired, and empowered to learn.
As a small rural school, we take pride in providing personalised learning experiences through smaller class sizes and strong community connections. This close-knit setting allows us to offer individualised attention, foster a deep sense of belonging, and nurture leadership and social-emotional skills. The education opportunities we offer connect students with the local environment, enriching their learning in meaningful ways.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about what makes our school so special. We look forward to welcoming you into our warm and vibrant community. Together, we can create a positive and inspiring journey for every learner.
