We offer a range of additional programs to help support this learning. Our specialist programs include Music, Physical Education, Digital Technology, Design Technology, Science and Auslan. Children in Years 5 and 6 also have the opportunity to learn guitar. As a Waste Sorted School, students from Years 3 to 6 will learn about sustainability through an integrated Science and Design Technology program.

Our experienced teachers and support staff are here to ensure students receive a rich education full of opportunities that develop not only their academic knowledge, but also their social, emotional, and physical skills.
