No matter what your contribution, whether it be a parent helper in a classroom, assisting with reading groups, covering library books or helping children with gift selection at our P&C stalls, or just preparing your child to work well with others and to value and respect their learning, it will be appreciated.
Our core values are be safe, be respectful and be a learner and are modelled in our every-day activities with your children and the policies and practices we implement through the school. ”
