A welcoming community

Our school is a place where students from all backgrounds feel safe, respected and part of the community. We value diversity and fairness. Your child will learn and grow in a school that celebrates who they are. We prepare students to be confident, well-rounded global citizens.

A great example of this was when our students recently participated in cultural immersion experiences led by Uncle Shayne Williams offering our students invaluable opportunities to connect with Indigenous cultures.

Visiting ancient Dharawal sites provides a tangible understanding of the rich history that shapes the land and its people.

Listening to Dharawal Dreaming stories allows appreciation of the spiritual and cultural narratives that underpin the Dharawal worldview. These stories often carry moral lessons and insights into the natural world, fostering respect for the environment and interconnectedness of all living things. Exploring Country and Culture under leaders like Uncle Shayne bridges cultural gaps and promotes mutual respect, encouraging students to become informed and empathetic global citizens.

We create a welcoming community by:
  • supporting students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D)
  • celebrating Harmony Day
  • incorporating culturally inclusive school events
  • ensuring cultural safety for all students.
