At The Gateway we are always striving to provide the best education that we possibly can. We know that by working with all the school community we can achieve our key priorities for the coming years.
As with all schools, we have been impacted by the pandemic and our school development plan for 2021 – 2023 reflects the return to normal as we work together to mitigate the long-term impact of COVID 19.
