Far East Cluster Schools

Our school is an active member of the Far East Cluster of schools that works closely together to improve teaching and learning. The Cluster arranges a wide range of academic, social and sporting opportunities for students whilst also providing professional development opportunities for teaching staff.

Information Technology

Our school is at the forefront and a leader in its technology resources which include electronic interactive whiteboards and up to date netbook and ipad computers in every classroom. We also offer a 1:1 student netbook program.

We aim to optimize the use of ICT as a tool within the curriculum to provide stimulating learning activities that engage students in their own learning.
