Our teachers make the difference
Committed to your child’s success
Our teachers ensure every student can thrive. They use proven ways to teach and tailor learning support for their students
Expert, connected and accredited
Our teachers are part of a strong education network. They may hold advanced accreditation. This ensuring high-quality teaching for your child.
Teachers who never stop learning
Our teachers are lifelong learners. They stay current through regular training and keep improving how they teach students.
Teacher–family partnerships
Our teachers build trust through clear communication. Our families know that their child has support and is ready to learn.
Learning and Wellbeing (LAW)
Our learning and wellbeing staff guide student wellbeing, learning needs and inclusion. They work with teachers to make personalised adjustments. The Learning and Wellbeing Faculty is a part of the school Learning Support system, providing direct and individualised assistance to students in mainstream classes who have been identified as having additional support needs. The work undertaken by the LAW Faculty, which reflects the individual needs of the students, may take the form of in class support, individual case management, small groups or whole class interventions. This team relies on professional collaboration with parents/carers, staff, support personnel both internal and external, counsellors, our Student Support Officer, external agencies and the students themselves to meet the additional support needs of the students identified. This means each child can take part fully in school life. We make our school welcoming and accessible to every child.
