The school is committed to assisting students to regain trust in people and systems and to develop the self-esteem and confidence required to face the challenges of a new country.
At any given time, over 50 different language groups are represented.
The school provides a secure and caring learning environment where staff and students respect and tolerate differences between cultures and religions and caters for individual differences in language acquisition.
Since 2009, the school has expanded to four campuses due to changing settlement patterns in the region.
The main campus is at Noble Park and caters for both primary and secondary students.

Our Springvale campus and Stonnington (Glen Huntly) campuses are for primary students.
