Our academic approach

We empower our students using four academic advantages:

• Explicit teaching that leads to deep learning
• An individualised teaching approach in small class sizes
• Outstanding teachers who participate in consistent professional development
• Our unique twin schooling structure.

Using explicit teaching, we go beyond the standard curriculum to prepare students for the mastery of essential knowledge.

Teachers structure lessons to reduce unnecessary distractions, provide students clear, direct instruction, and offer structured support for improved learning outcomes, increased engagement and a deeper understanding of concepts.

These evidence-based practices help our students retain and apply what they learn with confidence.

We maintain small class sizes and a student:teacher ratio of just 9.9, ensuring each individual is seen, known and cared for.

That way, we develop a true understanding of each and every student's ability, talents and needs, meaning that every child gets exceptional care and attention from their teachers, who are able to tailor teaching to the needs of individual students.

This approach applies to students at all points on the learning continuum - from high potential students to diverse learners and all students in between.

Our passionate teachers are the heart of our school community. Every day, they strive for excellence in the classroom to ignite curiosity, inspire confidence, and a love of learning.

We believe great teaching begins with great support. When teachers feel valued and professionally fulfilled, they connect more deeply with students and build stronger partnerships with families.

That’s why we place a strong emphasis on staff wellbeing and professional excellence — upholding high standards of practice and nurturing a culture of ongoing growth.

Through regular Professional Development days, we foster a performance-based culture where achievements are recognised and staff are encouraged to pursue higher levels of accreditation and postgraduate qualifications.

Our teachers meet fortnightly in dedicated professional learning teams. These collaborative sessions allow staff to share ideas, reflect on outcomes, and learn from each other’s successes to drive continuous improvement across every classroom.

This school-wide commitment to professional excellence raises teaching standards, models lifelong learning and strengthens relationships between staff and students.

Our unique twin schooling structure tailors innovative learning experiences to engage the hearts and minds of our young men and women.

We understand that there are differences in the way male and female students prefer to learn and interact. That's why we use best practice strategies to educate them in a way that draws on their strengths and preferences whilst supporting their socio-emotional growth.

We've seen this approach greatly benefit our students academically and improve their approach to learning.
