They are recognised across the community for their responsible and respectful approach, seeking out and successfully facing challenges with positivity and self-belief, truly embodying our school values of Choose Respect, Be Resilient and Challenge Yourself.
PDHS's priorities focus on student progress and achievement, teaching quality, learning environments, and partnerships and relationships.

As a Positive Behaviour Support school (PBS), our friendly and respectful culture is reflected within all classrooms, where eager and focused students are well supported by passionate and dedicated teachers.
Behavioural issues are minimal, allowing students and teachers to focus on the core business of learning.
Educational success is measured by more than just academic results and we aim to meet the emotional, physical and social needs of all students.
At PDHS we believe this is best achieved through positive partnerships between school and home.
