What we offer

Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.

Canteen

All canteens in NSW public schools must meet certain requirements. These include providing more healthy food and drink options – to make the healthy choice an easy choice for students. Visit Healthy school canteens to learn more.

Uniforms

When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.

Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:

  • meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation

  • includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics

  • is appropriate for the full range of school activities

  • is suitable for all body shapes.

STEM 

Students in Years 3 to 6 engage in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) lessons each week in collaboration with our Librarian. STEM is a cross-disciplinary approach to teaching that increases student interest in STEM related fields and improves students’ problem solving and critical analysis skills. Students have access to a range of technology to support their problem solving and engagement in the design thinking process. STEM is a hands-on experience that allows students to solve real-world problems whilst preparing them for a wide range of jobs in the future. 

 

Extra-Curricular Creative Groups:

In 2024 students have the opportunity to participate in a range of creative groups including choir, ukulele, dance and boys hip hop.
