We believe that, apart from relationship skills, life skills and an understanding of what promotes health and well-being, the future will demand people who are flexible, adaptable, able to cope with rapid change, and work at assimilating new skills to solve existing or new problems.

Co-operative learning skills
Problem solving skills

Other programme features include:

Basic first aid accreditation for years 5 and 6 students

Facilities include:

a 25 metres by 8 metres swimming pool
a visual and performing arts centre, inclusive of art, dance, and I-movie production studios.
