The Learner Profile is a set of attributes and values that we encourage our children to adopt. We strive to develop global citizens who respect cultures, who accept diversity around them, and who endeavour to inspire, empower and transform for a better world. Our curriculum is designed to prepare students for life in today's world and as such transferable skills and strong character attributes are given as much prominence as specific subject knowledge and academic challenge.
