With 98% of our students learning English as an additional language, our cultural richness is integral to our community and is respected and celebrated in all that we do. Approximately 1.6% of our students identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

We recognise our responsibility to honour the heritage of the Burramattagal people, as part of the Dharug Nation, and we are committed to working towards reconciliation by learning about and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander histories, cultures and contributions.

Fostering strong partnerships with families and the wider community is a priority, to create a supportive and inclusive culture where every student is valued. Our focus on evidence-based educational practices underpins our commitment to continuous improvement as we work towards enhancing the learning and wellbeing outcomes of students. A strong sense of belonging exists for everyone.

Our library is well resourced, and the teacher librarian role is important to promote a love of reading, complimenting the school's instructional focus on reading. Strong organisational and communication skills are essential for the smooth operation of the library program and initiatives such as Book Week. The teacher librarian position falls within our RFF team and the teacher librarian supports whole school priorities and delivers some RFF outside the library program.
