Our whole school Mandarin cultural program includes Languages other than English (LOTE) for non-native Chinese speakers and Community Languages other than English (CLOTE) for native Chinese speakers. 

Our dedicated staff are committed to using evidence based practices to maximise student outcomes in all learning areas. This is demonstrated by the high growth scores our students achieve in literacy and numeracy assessments. 

Students who need additional support in literacy and / or numeracy benefit from an established learning support program which includes a Learning Support Teacher and English as an Additional Language or Dialect teachers (EaLD).
