The school has been successful in applying for several major government funding initiatives to enhance teaching and learning with both the school and our community. These include SSAT Humanities designation, Excellence in Cities, Small Education Action Zone and the Behaviour Improvement Project. Effective and efficient ICT based teaching and learning is central to the Head teacher's vision for the school.
