Welcome to the 2022 school year, and specially our new students, families and staff. Wonderful news!! In Semester 2 2021, 98.3% of our students achieved a result at year level standard or above across all learning areas. In fact, 47% or our students achieved a B equivalent level result. This is due to our school’s work across all aspects of the School Improvement Hierarchy, inclusive curriculum, effective and consistent pedagogy and the use of assistive technologies. This is a result above the region’s target and something for our staff, students and community to be very proud of.
