Foundation and Year 1 students participate in the synthetic phonics program - Little Learners Love Literacy. This is an explicit and sequential literacy approach for teaching children to read, write and spell with confidence. SMART Spelling is introduced from Year 2 onwards and is a systematic, explicit, and synthetic approach that builds on the prior learning of the Little Learners Love Literacy program.

The school is committed to keeping abreast of current educational trends.

Our school has a well-established 1:1 laptop program for all students in Year 4 to Year 6 with school laptops being available to Year 1 to Year 3 students. Using these as a learning tool has made a significant impact on the learning and teaching.

Our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program is based on School Wide Positive Behaviour (SWPB) strategies and processes, Zones of Regulation, Stop, Walk, Talk (an anti-bullying strategy) and Respectful Relationships. In 2023, through our extensive implementation of SWPB, we were accredited as a Gold Status school.
