Our school places great importance on the development of every child's skills and abilities whilst fostering a feeling of community across the school.

Our highly trained and skilled teachers ensure every student receives a quality education that caters for their individual needs.

We support students with programs including Reading Recovery and small intervention groups across the school. Lunchtime programs also operate at different times throughout the year.

We are a SunSmart school reinforcing in all students the need to protect their skin from the dangers of the sun's rays.


Our school also uses the State Government's It's Not OK to be Away attendance strategy.

Our school has an Out of School Hours Care program, providing both Before and After School Care.

The Cairnlea Community Hub also operates on the school site. It houses our Out of School Hours Care program, a kindergarten, occasional care, neighbourhood house and a maternal health nurse. We are a Birth to Age 12 facility.

We invite you to come and inspect our facilities and talk to our staff about our school when you are considering which school to send your children to.
