It is also well situated for travel to other locations around the world.
It is hot and humid in the Coastal areas in summer; while it is hot and dry in the interior with the exception of the higher mountains, which enjoy a moderate climate throughout the year. Rainfall is generally light and irregular.

- Able to demonstrate outstanding standards of teaching and learning.
- An exceptional communicator with the ability to work with students and parents alike.
- Ambitious and keen to develop and further existing knowledge and skills.

Experience of using effective differentiation and assessment techniques are, however, essential.
