Social and fundraising activities allow staff, students and parents to mix in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. All key areas are combined into an integrated curriculum, as four multi-aged classes pursue different aspects of a common theme. Supporting programs include health and human relations, religious education, gardening, and the Buddy system. An after-school care program is available and operates from 3.30 to 6 pm each school day. It provides excellent care and stimulating activities.
Care is also available on pupil-free days.
Partnerships have been formed with nearby institutions, including the Marine Discovery Centre, Victorian Fisheries Research Institute and the Army. Extensive glazing maximises the use of natural light. Safety of students is enhanced by having toilets within the building. The dual advantages of a small student number and the physical design of the school allow staff to choose the best teaching approach, from formal class settings to whole school activities. The grounds include native gardens, shade structures which can be used as outside classrooms, sports oval with terraced bank, basketball and tennis court, grassy play areas, rebound wall and a variety of modern playground equipment.
