Welcome from our principal
A place of learning that is A+; Academic, Ambitious and Authentic.
Our highly experienced teachers provide excellence in teaching across a broad and rich curriculum. Student potential is encouraged and is demonstrated in our outstanding HSC results and excellence in a range of areas. Personalised planning for each student’s interest and strength ensures a pathway into future learning. Our wellbeing team provide wraparound proactive support to engage students.
The College has a strong culture of aspiration to ensure students are challenged and given support to imagine new and better ways to learn and work as a community. We work closely with parents to provide additional programs and projects to realise these dreams and opportunities. Our Captains and student leaders are an integral part of this process.
A commitment to transparency and authenticity underpins all our work. We have open dialogue with our community so we can problem solve together. The child and the classroom is at the heart of our work to grow both the individual and the community. We look outward to the imperative of what to means to be a global citizen so our students leave and lead with confidence, care and success.
