School Profile

1. Guiding Principles

Since opening in 1957 we have evolved, improved and maintained a reputation for our emphasis on both curriculum and student welfare. The school aims to provide a happy, secure and supportive environment where decision making, problem solving, critical thinking and environmental issues are developed as children become responsible for their learning.

The school procedures and practices are based on:

• An open and consultative management approach that promotes shared problem solving, task assessment and action appraisal.

• Clearly stated policies and programs that reflect current initiatives and have stated obtainable goals.

• A commitment to the development of an ongoing quality learning environment that develops skills, recognises abilities and celebrates achievement.

• Environmentally sound attitudes and habits that reflect an understanding of the world around us.

Students are valued and encouraged to develop pride and respect for their school, parents and the community.  Leadership programs are offered in a variety of areas, which enable students to develop sound skills for future needs.  The staff is committed to developing the school¿s ethos and work as a team in following the school¿s long term plans.
