Community Partnerships

Since 2023, we have developed a strong partnership with Younity. From parent support services to the Push program and the Greenies, the support has been amazing. Recently we have had to cycle through our mandatory equipment replacement process. This has enabled us to proudly donate our awesome and reliable zero turn mower to Younity as an expression of our gratitude for the hard work they put in to support our school. Thanks to Emma and the team for their amazing work! Find out more about the Younity Traineeships by following the link.

Our P&C have a united focus on raising funds for promoting the embedding of culture at our school. We join with them and as a whole school, all funds raised will go to supporting this focus. From excursions to cultural practices, funds raised will celebrate, promote and enable students to be proud of their culture at our school.

To better understand how learning to read works, we are using a model called "Scarborough's Rope".

oin us as we look at each "strand" of rope and engage students in improving each skill one strand at a time.
