At the centre of everything we do are our students. High standards of performance and conduct are prioritised in a nurturing atmosphere. Our curriculum is deliberately planned to be both comprehensive and in-depth. We aim to instil a love of learning in our kids. At the heart of what we do are the Christian principles of love, truth, respect, forgiveness, faith, serenity, and persistence. The outcome is that the kids are content, sociable, and well-behaved, and they enjoy school. They consistently outperform the national average in all subject areas and make good improvement as well.
