Our focus on 21st century learning promotes collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and effective communication. This approach underpins all learning at Gymea and equips students for long term academic success.

At Gymea we are passionate about empowering students through active participation in all school experiences. All students have many opportunities to exercise their student voice, broaden their interests and develop their leadership skills and confidence.
