What is the school famous or known for (for more modest ones:)Our children are well mannered, like to think of others less fortunate than themselves and to be active in the community, especially in sport

Does the school have any geniuses (Rich says it should be genii) and what in?We had three regional finalists in the Nestle Write Around the World Competition from year six this year, which is a big deal and very exciting. Many of our sporting teams won their winter sport grand-finals this year and many students in our school achieve excellent results in Standardised National Testing each year. The teachers are all genii (of course!).

Unusual lessons:Group singing, whole school recycling program, class mass/ school mass, interschool sport, guest speakers and special guests/ performers, any time when Miss Barrett-Lennard is in 'a mood' and starts leaping around the classroom and acting strange- its scary!
