Mrs Barbara AdamsHead of Primary Message from Head of Secondary We aim to empower young Christians to enter every positive walk of life. I believe we are here for the purpose of leading our students on a journey toward a mature Christian adulthood. The best way we can do this is to develop and hone the talents with which each student has been blessed. A successful secondary education requires a shared understanding and commitment from students parents and teachers. With our support students have the best opportunity to be active participants in their own education. Along with our staff istrongly encourage responsibility and awareness in each of our students. Students at the College benefit from a high-level academic education guided by a Christian worldview. This provides them with a variety of options after graduation and provides a strong foundation for the rest of their lives. I warmly welcome visitors to our College and would be delighted to share more information about our programs with you.
