We believe in growing the whole student and strive to provide a happy and healthy environment that nurtures and benefits everyone.
We are a family school at the sea and are fortunate to have a team of dedicated parents, past pupils, teachers and community leaders at our side.
Behind every good student is a good school. And behind every good school, is a great community.
A word from our Principal

These are key developmental years in any child’s life and every effort is made to make school as interesting and as enriching as possible.

A TRIBUTE TO MS ELEANOR TAAI
Being a teacher is one of the most fulfilling occupations you can find.
The Phakamisa Pantry
Phakamisa means “to uplift” and this project is one that tugs at the heartstrings. It started with a touching story of a teen, who despite numerous setbacks, still attended school, still studied hard and remained humble, courteous and polite – to the extend that even peers commented on it.
