​By working closely with the Ardtornish Children's Centre we provide a smooth transition between preschool and school.

Parents, of foundation/reception students, are invited to visit our
 Phonics and Foundation Literacy page, under the 'Teaching and Learning' menu, to learn how we use the "Read Write Inc,"
synthetic phonics program, to support each child to quickly and enjoyably develop their reading and writing skills.

Our School Values  -  Respect   -   Responsibility   -   Confidence  -   Safety and Security   -   Fun


We develop students' social skills, creativity, problem solving, self confidence and ability to access and process knowledge.
​
​We provide a safe, happy, caring, supportive and positive environment in which children develop empathy for others, responsibility, and a strong desire to learn and achieve. 
​

Our school is committed to fostering parent/teacher relationships that enhance the learning opportunities available to students and believes that teachers and parents are partners in education. Download our Parent Information Booklet.
