Philosophy of Education
I believe in the holistic development of children, and that education should encompass academic, physical, social, spiritual and emotional development. I believe in creating an inclusive learning community where diversity is catered for and student achievement is celebrated in all areas. I believe that the best possible outcomes are achieved through collaborative partnerships, together with a responsive, engaging and differentiated curriculum.
