Principal's message
Our school, located on the beautiful foreshores of Lake Illawarra on Wadi Wadi land, celebrates the diverse strengths of every student.
With a broad curriculum, inclusive support, and partnerships with community and industry, we foster growth academically and personally. Guided by our motto, ‘Seek the Truth,’ we inspire students to be confident, curious, and responsible citizens.
