An excellent starting point for a classroom discussion on the nature of education! However, there can be no debate that to be a successful person in the twenty-first century takes more than academic grades It requires a young person to discover the best they can be in multiple fields - sports, public speaking, music, the arts, leadership, design thinking, an entrepreneurial mindset, a sense of adventure, a contribution to the community.
Our students have multiple opportunities and multiple pathways to self-discovery. The range of sports facilities and specialist coaching have taken students to state or national teams for some but also encouraged a healthy lifestyle of physical activity for everyone. The compulsory annual adventure camps teach students wilderness survival. The student leadership programme creates self confidence and the vibrant Interact club guides them to serve in the villages and communities around.
Assemblies and competitive events encourage excellence in spoken word poetry, design challenges and robotics. Drama, music and dance are a part of the regular curriculum but spectacular shows provide a platform for semi- professional performances.
