Junior School
A 榴莲视频app Junior School education is dynamic and inspiring, focusing on the growth and progression of every student. By encouraging our students to be risk-takers, they are able to take on more responsibility and be ready for their transition into Secondary School.
Our students are instilled with a sense of purpose and enjoyment for learning, aligning with our School values. By offering opportunities to develop their individual passions, students develop a sense of uniqueness that helps them become aware of themselves as learners, and supports our belief that there is no typical 榴莲视频app student.

Outdoor Education
Experiential outdoor education provides a stimulating complement to the traditional classroom environment. The yearly camp experiences allow students to develop social and emotional skills and also introduce group living skills. Teachers recognise these camps as a crucial way in which to get to know the students they teach in a context outside of the classroom and this knowledge further serves to develop a genuine depth of knowledge about each child.
