Faith in you

We choose to believe in the energy, creativity and problem solving skills of our people and that they will always act in a way that represents our organisation well. To be a ‘leader in Presbyterian Education’ and ‘be one of the great schools of the world’ is what drives us. And we know it is our people that will make that goal a reality.
