Various quality programs are offered, such as the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden, public speaking, dance, sport, choir (including a signing choir), and technology integration with iPads, laptops, coding, and robotics.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are actively embedded in the curriculum and school life, supported by initiatives like the Koori Kids program that builds cultural connection, confidence, and leadership. The school also celebrates multiculturalism through events and language programs fostering cultural understanding.
