A special welcome from the principal:

 

Education begins from the earliest years and continues through a lifetime.

 

Because of the explosion of knowledge and the pervasive penetrating influence of information technology, the world of the twenty-first century is fundamentally different from that of the past. It is essential for all young people to be flexible and responsive to the new opportunities as they occur. The most important capacity for our young people will be the ability to learn, and continue to learn throughout their lifetime.

 

It is most important to have effective communication between the home and the school. Early school websites included school information, newsletters, photos and such. Schools now talk about class blogs and interactive technologies…it is our hope that our revised website can better reflect the world of the second decade of the twenty-first century.

 

We are proud of our school, and of the way everyone works towards a common goal in helping to provide the best education possible for children. We are eager to develop our CARE values, as well as provide a well balanced range of curriculum and non-curriculum activities. Our school is currently undergoing considerable development:

* We have a new hall and administration area

* We are currently building four new junior classrooms for twenty-first century learning

* We are fully involved in a three-year Ministry of Education contract with seven other schools, looking at developing our capacity to provide learning and teaching opportunities for eLearning

* We continue to provide a well balanced curriculum, endeavouring to meet the educational, social, emotional and physical needs of all children at our school

 

I trust that with your continued cooperation and support we will continue to provide a happy, safe, and educationally stimulating environment.
