Secondary School Update (1 December 2023)

We are thrilled to share news of our recent CIS/WASC accreditation visit that took place last week.

The team highlighted the strong sense of belonging within our school community, emphasising that it provides a nurturing environment for students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. They were particularly impressed with the quality of teaching, acknowledging the dedication and expertise of our educators in shaping young minds.

Furthermore, our students' conduct was described as superb, demonstrating their commitment to our core values and their overall character development. The evaluator team also praised the supportive parent community, recognising the vital role they play in enhancing our school's success.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all stakeholders, including students, parents, teachers, and staff, for their invaluable contributions throughout the accreditation visit. Your active involvement and commitment to our school's mission have undoubtedly made a significant impact.

While the full report will be available in a few months, we anticipate sharing the recommendations and commendations with our school community when they are available. Together, we will continue to build upon our strengths and strive for continuous improvement.

Once again, congratulations to everyone involved in making our accreditation visit a resounding success.

Head of Secondary
