Our Community
Our school is situated on the Eastern Shore of Hobart and enjoys terrific views of the Derwent River to the south and Mt Wellington to the west. Our school is in the hub of Bellerive, which is mainly a residential suburb 10 minutes from the Hobart CBD. Bellerive is a very popular residential area with quality housing, easy access to the beach and shops, and breathtaking views of Hobart’s natural features. Our grounds are spacious and beautifully landscaped to allow for a wide variety of play and learning. In 2025 we are currently in the process of developing our kitchen-garden space "The Welcome Garden" with the aim in 2026 of incorporating these lessons into our students curriculum.
