Now that our academic year has once again reached its final day, we wish our 6th year, 6LCA and our 3rd year students (and their families) a calm and positive examination season. To our 1st, 2nd, Ty and 5th years we hope you have a relaxing and re-energising summer break. I wish to thank the students for making this a most memorable school year and as always I wish to express our collective gratitude to their parents who work with us and support us to get the best for the boys.

We look forward to working with you in the coming year.
