Number Blocks: focussed on developing a student’s number sense and fluency EALD Teacher: Support for students who require assistance with English as an Additional Language or Dialect.

Our dedicated staff work closely with families to ensure each student's unique needs are met but also their individual talents are discovered and fostered. Through our inclusive learning approach, we strive to create a community where diversity is celebrated.
