About Us
Our students are at the centre of all our decision making. Learning is a partnership with the school, parents, carers and other members of the community, all of whom have a role to play in nurturing the love of learning needed for success at school and in life. We are committed to preparing and inspiring students to be leaders of their own learning that will help them to collaborate and use critical and creative thinking to solve complex problems and become mindful global citizens.

The North symbol represents our own journey as we navigate in the direction of True North. It is underpinned by the learner’s aspiration to be a leader of their own learning.

We acknowledge the Darug people who are the Traditional Custodians of this Land and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future, for they will hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We would like to extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people present. We must always remember that under the concrete and asphalt this land is, was and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
