About this school, from public sources
Public information about this small rural Kiewa Valley school describes a close-knit primary catering for a handful of students across Prep to Year 6, with a low student-to-teacher ratio. The school's stated priorities are literacy and numeracy alongside ICT integration, and it runs specialist classes including Dhudhuroa language, art, performing arts, STEM, PE and hands-on learning such as horticulture and cooking. The site sits in a scenic setting near Mt Bogong, with before/after-school and kinder care available on site.
