Healthy Families Program

This is a literature-based program in years 5 and 6 integrating reading and social education. It is a program based on healthy attitudes to living and understanding life in different family situations, changes in families and living where relationships are valued and strengthened, and lessons learnt from bad experiences so that they are not repeated.

Special Interest Program

This is designed to offer a diverse range of activities such as sport, crafts, music, etc to cater for a wide range of interests, talents and abilities, focussing on the gifted skills of many of our students and staff, as outlined in the Bright futures program. Outcomes of positive self-esteem and confidence are the benefits of this specific new program.
