[edit] Achievements

The school was the winner of the New South Wales Department of Education Director-General's award for their achievement in performing arts in the Northern Districts [1]. In 2004, the school was one of twenty schools recognised by the NSW Environment Minister, Bob Debus, and Australian Environment and Heritage Minister, Senator Ian Campbell, for their achievements in the NSW Sustainable Schools Program [2].

The school was also selected as a case study for sustainabilty by the Sydney Morning Herald. The course material supplied by the Herald is available to teachers for use in the school curriculum [3]. The school is also a case study for the New South Wales "Living Thing" program [4].

[edit] Speed camera and road safety issues

Harold Scruby of the Pedestrian Council of Australia notes the school was the location of the first 40 km/h school zone on a main road in Australia to have a bi-directional, variable speed camera [5]. Recently, the school has campaigned with Mosman Council for the installation of road barriers to prevent cars mounting the kerb [6]
