Our Staff

Our highly qualified teachers draw upon years of teaching and industry experience. While our ‘fresher’ faces share the latest innovations in their respective fields.

Many staff members are still active in their chosen fields of academia and performance. Others undertake professional development through postgraduate education to ensure they remain current in their areas of specialisation. They are all wholeheartedly committed to ensuring your child performs to the best of his or her ability and enjoys coming to school.

Staff and students are supported by a professional team of administrative staff.
