On our shared location, we collaborate closely with St. Michael's C of E Junior School. We are fortunate to have beautiful school grounds that are utilised for a number of purposes, including learning and play, sports, clubs, and family gatherings.

Each kid is inspired to perform at their highest level by a supportive environment that emphasises praise, high standards, and participation in their education. Children have many opportunity to develop their creative skills, and we like to recognise all of their accomplishments. We value a strong partnership between families and the school and invite you to visit us so we can discuss about your kid. There are several ways for families to get engaged in their children's education and the daily operations of the school.
