The School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) and the Resilience Project strongly underpin the wellbeing program.

In addition to a gymnasium the grounds include courts, oval, shaded play areas, outdoor learning spaces and an extensive farm area incorporating a vineyard, orchard, vegetable gardens and chicken pens. The school delivers an approved curriculum framework based on the Victorian Curriculum which is highly differentiated to meet the personal learning needs of individual students.
