Our people

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

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

Many staff members are still active in their chosen fields of academia and performance. Others undertake professional development by way of postgraduate education to ensure they stay 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.

Our dedicated and vastly experienced Executive Team is responsible for ensuring our mission is met, our values are upheld and the day-to-day operations of the College are effective.
