What makes our little community different?

We emphasise equity and excellence and focus on the social-emotional and academic growth of our students. As a result, our academic results are outstanding and significantly above similar school groups.

Last year, 96% of students achieved either strong or exceeding in writing and 93% of students are achieving at either strong or exceeding in reading.
