Review
We have just undertaken
an extensive review of the school's support for Main Language Other than
English background students. It is part of a District wide
review to examine best practice in our schools and to identify areas for
improvement.

Parent
Information Workshops
Information sessions
are held each term for parents as a commitment to building community partnerships
and improving school's public image. Previous workshops have included
topics such as our GATE program.
As a focus school
for Gifted and Talented Education we have a differentiated curriculum that
aims to create autonomous life long learners. This philosophy has
been incorporated into teaching and learning in the ESL Program.
