Student enjoy a range of sporting opportunities throughout the school year. A healthy balance between striving for high standards of performance by individuals and teams and high levels of participation in a range of sports, benefits all students.
The school has a strong focus on the early years of schooling. Prep students are well supported through their introduction to the school. Classrooms are nurturing environments, in which each student is encouraged to begin their academic learning. A Pre-Prep program supports prospective students and their parents to introduce their child to the school, prior to formal entry to Prep.
The engagement of parents in their child's learning and the life of the school is highly valued. Parents are encouraged to access the numerous opportunities that are available.
