From the Headmaster's Desk - 26 March 2026

Dear parents, as we reach the end of a full and rewarding first term, it is a good moment to pause and reflect on the journey we have shared over the past few months. It has been a busy term in every sense of the word. From the classroom to the sports field, from the stage to the grade camps, our students have been deeply engaged in the life of the College. What continues to stand out is not simply the level of activity, but the personal development that has taken place in the young people entrusted to our care.
