I believe in a school that is much more than marks. The College鈥檚 motto established in 2010 鈥淢uch More Than Marks – Learning for Life鈥 embodies my belief that a child鈥檚 schooling experience is more than an outstanding academic result. Educators and schools should strive to develop their students鈥 knowledge of the world and to foster the emotional and social intelligence they need to be active participants and leaders, now and in the future.
