Nurture and Creativity

The personal care of your son or daughter is our first priority. To grow up as a well balanced adult requires an education which provides an academic and a caring environment. The academic curriculum is about maximizing learning and performance.  However our caring approach has to meet personal needs. This is a practicing policy of our school. We provide opportunities in the arts and sport, etc so children can learn how to maintain friendships and resolve differences.

Our children learn to support each other and share the ups and downs that occur in any school social setting. Nor do we pretend our children are mature adults and expect them to show behavior which goes with and age stage of development.  Our caring staff aims to recognise different needs of each age group. 

We recognise too that children need boundaries to determine acceptable behaviour. We offer reason for our expectations, which can overcome minor behaviour issues. However there can be occasions when cautioning and correction are needed. Children are happiest when they can learn in an environment which provides a practical care structure.

Nurturing of children is not a sentimental wish; rather providing examples of character building activities with sensible incentives and controls.
Children learn by what they experience and that has its mixture of trials and rewards.  So we not only say that we provide a caring school but realize that no growth comes without learning from successes and failures.  Growing up is a struggle, so we can not remove all the obstacles, rather we provide the training to overcome them.
