We’re an esmart school

An eSmart school is a school where the smart, safe and responsible use of information and communications technology is a cultural norm. Students, teachers and the wider school community are equipped to embrace the best these technologies can offer, while being savvy about the pitfalls. eSmart Schools is a behaviour change initiative designed to help schools improve
cybersafety and reduce cyberbullying.

What’s that pink bench?

Have you noticed the new bench on the East site? It’s bright pink and not hard to miss. The seat is a “Friendship Seat” from the Better Buddies Program run by the Alannah and Madeline Foundation. The goal is for the seat to be a place for students to sit and talk to their friends or to make new friends. Students are being taught friendship and kindness and to build a sense of community. Thank you to the Alannah and Madeline foundation for supplying and installing the seat.
