Education from Kindergarten to Year 12
Our school provides a dynamic curriculum with continuity of learning across K–12, a strong focus on explicit teaching and extra curricular opportunities.
Individualised support and care
We are focused on wellbeing, using case management to identify each student’s unique strengths, learning goals and aspirations to ensure that they feel valued, supported and recognised as individuals.
A future focused, whole-student approach
We empower students to thrive, developing well-rounded individuals who are prepared to lead, innovate and make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

School Values
'Be Kind, Work Hard, Stay Safe'
These new values incorporate our previous school wide expectations - Respectful, Safe, Learner and the Berry Street Education Model philosophy that underpins our approach to student wellbeing and engagement. .
Principal’s Message
'As a proud K–12 school, we offer the unique advantage of continuity. Our students grow in a supportive environment where strong relationships between staff, families and peers help us understand each child’s needs and goals.
Every student matters here. We use a case management approach to ensure the right support at the right time, whether that’s extension, encouragement or individualised help, always working closely with families.
Grounded in the Berry Street Education Model, our strong wellbeing culture and quality teaching create a safe and vibrant place for students to learn and achieve their best.
I invite you to contact us for a tour or conversation. We’d love to show you what makes our school special.'
- Matthew Quirk, Principal
