Dear Parents/Caregivers

Principal’s Message
School started in 1992 where all 9 kids from years 1 – 8 were taught as a single composite class and today we are at our maximum roll of 550 students which are divided into different year levels and subjects. As the school is now heading towards a major roll increase and hence a review of staffing is being carried out to ensure that we have a robust management system. To handle the increase in the school roll which we hope will go to 1000 students. In Sha’a Allah we will let the community know the outcome of the review.
