Our principal and staff

Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.

"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."
