Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
Our staff are very proud of the service we offer to families who may be isolated by circumstance or distance. We constantly hear from parents how appreciative they are of the opportunity to be involved so closely in their children’s schooling.
We also hear how well the children are doing when they return to their local schools. Our standards and expectations guarantee quality teaching and learning outcomes for all of our students. We are also constantly looking for ways to improve services for our families.
Our students delight in the opportunity to work at their own pace on a personalised program designed by an experienced and caring professional.
Students benefit from the guidance of those who have the greatest interest of their students at heart, namely their parents who supervise their lessons. A sincere thank you for your interest in our school. We look forward to the opportunity of being of service to you in the near future.
