Technology and Learning Resources

From Kindergarten to Year 6, our students move through a carefully sequenced digital-learning pathway. In K-2 they program-friendly Blue Bots to grasp the basics of coding and logical thinking; in Years 3–6 they tackle richer challenges with Dash robots; and in Years 5–6 they take on advanced STEM projects using Spike LEGO robotics.

These experiences equip our students with the skills, confidence, and creativity they need for a future-focused world.

Online Programs

Enhancing Learning with Online Programs

Our school uses a range of online tools to support and extend student learning. Essential Assessment helps target individual needs, while Typing Club and Microsoft Reading Fluency build key literacy and typing skills. Students also use Canva and Google Classroom to create, collaborate, and stay organised in their learning.

Sport and Physical Education

Physical activity and team sports are integral to school life. Our students participate in:

Gala Days & Interschool Competitions

Representative Pathways in individual and team sports

Surfing, Rugby, Netball & Intensive Swimming Programs

Bandjalang Education

Our school is deeply committed to learning the Bandjalang language and culture, strengthened by our close partnership with our local Aboriginal community. This collaboration enriches students’ understanding and respect for Indigenous heritage through authentic cultural experiences, integrated classroom learning, and active community involvement, fostering a genuine appreciation for the traditions, stories and wisdom of the Bandjalang people.

K - 6 offers resilience projects for parents, community and students.

The Anxiety Project

Our K–2 students take part in the Anxiety Project, a wellbeing program that helps them build emotional awareness, resilience, and strategies to manage worries in a supportive and age-appropriate way. This project involves students, teachers and parents learning a common language and developing a shared toolkit to manage this important issue. Sessions are run once a week after school for 3 lessons in term 1.

Rock and Water Program

Rock and Water decreases bullying and depressive feelings, and increases self-esteem, self-regulation and social acceptance.

Basically, Rock and Water is a course that is delivered over a number of lessons to students in primary or high school. Students learn to stand strong, negotiate using “rock” or “water” verbal approaches, walk away from trouble, consider alternatives to aggression, and develop understandings about who they are, their intuitive feelings and their personal direction.
