The school also has a complex care team led by the School Nurse who support classes in ensuring health and medical needs are met.

We have a dedicated and enthusiastic staff of teachers, teaching assistants, Special Needs Support Workers, Swimming Teacher/Instructor, Family Support Lead, administrators and other support staff who make up our large team.
