The P&C Association meetings are well attended and provide support and feedback necessary for the smooth running of the school.

Students
There are approximately 660 students enrolled in the school with parallel classes in each grade and 1 composite classes 5/6. Students in composite classes are chosen carefully for their independent work habits and those in the mainstream classes represent the full spectrum of learning abilities. Many children live within walking distance of the school, although a number do catch the bus. Our students generally display a love of learning and take up the many opportunities available to them.
