A welcoming, inclusive environment
We provide a supportive, inclusive space that prioritises student wellbeing and engagement. Respectful relationships foster positive, supported learning for every student.
Support for every family
We promote culturally responsive practices by building authentic partnerships with parents, carers, and health teams. Together, we strive to meet every student’s learning and wellbeing needs.
Principal's message
A Different Kind of School Day
Most schools begin their day with a bell. Ours begins with a smile, a soft knock on a hospital room door, and a gentle: “Good morning, feel like some maths today or a story?”
We meet students where they are, supporting their learning and wellbeing with care and flexibility. Whether here for a short visit or an extended stay, students continue their learning and remain connected to their identity as learners. Our focus is on ensuring every student feels supported, valued, and engaged, no matter their circumstances.
Visitors won’t find rows of desks or assemblies. Expect laughter, art on the walls, meaningful learning, and students who are braver than you can imagine.
This is a different kind of school — and we are proud to serve our students this way.
