However, our curriculum does not stop there, our students will be taught more than just course content; we will ensure students develop the skills needed to become an independent, lifelong learner. We will give them every opportunity to succeed in a huge variety of activities in and out of the classroom, including cultural events, sporting activities and community projects.
