Welcome to the Family
We believe in educating the child, not only academically but the whole child, intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially and environmentally. We stand for a principled approach to life. We sow the seeds of self-esteem, respect and creativity. It is important to me that when a child leaves my school they are ready to move on to top secondary schools, not just for the classroom, but also ready for the joys and challenges of life.
