Faculty and Staff

Collegial Working and Individual Responsibility

Teachers meet weekly as a faculty for educational work including Professional Development, Child Studies, Curriculum Review, Planning and Policy Consideration, as well as discussing and coordinating whole school activities such as festivals and assemblies.
