Welcome to Level 2 for 2024. We have planned explicit learning experiences filled with a range of learning opportunities for learners to participate in and engage in the Victorian Curriculum.

These learning experiences have been tailored to the students' learning needs to create a meaningful learning journey. We aim to challenge and extend the students in all areas across the Curriculum. We are excited to be part of the academic, social and emotional learning growth and development of each student throughout the year.

Please take a few moments to read what we have planned for this exciting term as we look forward to a rigorous term of learning.

Hats – As we are a Sun Smart school, hats must be always worn when the students are outside during Term One.
