The school is well known for its sporting success, particularly in football, hockey, netball, swimming, and athletics. The school also has a strong focus on literacy, technology, and talented students.

For many years students proudly wore the school badge. The school's mission is "to provide a positive and stimulating environment which values and fosters: the involvement of parents and care-givers in students' education; teaching and learning that is enjoyable, challenging, rewarding and lifelong; mutual respect, responsibility and individuality; striving by staff and students to achieve potential; self esteem and self confidence through participation in academic, cultural, sporting, and social pursuits; and an appreciation of our physical environment."
