Student life
What your child's week actually looks like
Lessons are most of it, but not all of it. This is the rest — the bus at ten to six, lunch in the dining shed, house points, club afternoons, and the person who checks on a child who has gone quiet.

The shape of a day
From the gate at 6:45 to the last bus
The demanding subjects come first, while concentration is best. The afternoon is lighter, and the youngest are asleep for most of it.
- 6:45am
The gate opens
Bus arrivals first, then drop-offs. A duty teacher is at the gate every morning; JHS prefects help the youngest ones out of cars.
- 7:30am
Assembly or devotion
Monday and Friday the whole school gathers on the field — the national anthem, the school pledge, notices, and one pupil presentation. Other days, class devotion.
- 7:50am
Lessons begin
Literacy and numeracy come first, while concentration is at its best. Preschool works in small groups; Upper Primary and JHS move to subject teachers.
- 10:00am
Break
Twenty-five minutes on the field, with a snack from home or the canteen. Staff are on duty at four points, and the youngest have their own play area.
Belonging
Every child is in a house from day one
Siblings are always placed together, so a family has one set of colours to buy and one team to shout for. House points are earned for effort and conduct as much as for winning races.

Unity — together we are stronger
Adehye
Nobility — carry yourself well

Wisdom — think before you act
Looking after children
Someone notices when a child goes quiet
Pastoral care is not a policy document here — it is a set of specific arrangements, each of which has a named person behind it.
Peer mentoring
Every Basic 4 pupil is paired with a Basic 9 mentor who checks on them once a week. New children, at any age, get a settled classmate for their first fortnight.
A named safeguarding lead
Every concern goes to one person, who keeps a written record and decides what happens next. Parents may contact them directly, without going through anyone else.
Form periods that are used
Junior High form periods are for the form tutor to actually talk to their group — attendance, workload, friendships — not for extra marking.
A nurse who knows the children
The same nurse every day, holding every child's health record. She notices the child who comes to the clinic three times in a week for nothing in particular.
Discipline without fear
Clear rules, applied the same way to everybody, and no corporal punishment. Parents are involved early when there is a pattern, not after an explosion.
The call before the report
If a child's work or mood changes, the class teacher calls you. You should never learn about a problem for the first time from a report card.
