Work together; Succeed together

Respect, Courage and Pride came through as Values that staff feel are important to define us a community, Students overwhelmingly selected the term Determination and parents very much suggested Compassion as a core value.
Courage
Courage is about stepping out of our comfort zones and facing challenges with confidence. It means speaking up for what is right, taking risks in our learning, and being resilient when faced with setbacks.
