Our students actively participate in the Bega Valley Community of Schools, where their voices are heard and valued. Through student leadership initiatives, including Junior AECG and SRC, students develop critical skills in advocacy, collaboration, and decision-making, empowering them to make positive contributions locally and globally.

Individualised learning plans ensure that each student is challenged and supported to reach their full academic potential across all subject areas.
