They have a lot to offer in the way of excursions to help your child understand the world around them and how it works, with the famous Sea World right on it's door step as well as some amazing beaches where they can learn all about the marine life that call the oceans home.

With state of the art facilities, you will find this town as not a sleepy smaller coastal town but as they are up to date with all teaching techniques, they have generally larger campus's offering more facilities and smaller class sizes as well as professional qualified teachers who want nothing more then your child to succeed in life.
