The school offers students a vibrant and engaged learning environment to enable students to lead lives full of choice and opportunity.  Each learner has access to their own personalised curriculum that meets their strengths and needs. Staff take a respectful, holistic approach and work closely with families and outside agencies to provide the best opportunities for the students at the school.

There is a dedicated leadership team in place at the school and there are excellent training and CDP opportunities for staff.
