Our school is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all students. We adhere to the principles of the Berry Street Education Model and The Resilience Project, which emphasize trauma-informed education, resilience, and emotional well-being. Our commitment extends to being ahead of the curve in supporting students with disabilities, ensuring they have access to tailored resources and opportunities for success. We also provide robust support for Koori students, honouring their cultural heritage and promoting educational equity.
