If you have been reading my blog, you know that I believe that the single most important variable in making a school great, is the staff. As I've shared before, they will be the ones working directly with your children, answering their academic needs while also focusing on their social and emotional needs. We have taken the hiring step very seriously as we understand the importance of their jobs; developing a variety of skills within your children, including:
- literacy and numeracy,
- communication,
- collaboration,
- problem solving,
- curiosity,
- citizenship,
- creativity,
- critical thinking,
- innovation,
- etc…
Harry and I have been incredibly lucky to meet so many great candidates (there were more great candidates than there were positions), and we were lucky to be able to hire people who will work together as a team, collaborating with their colleagues on each part of their very important job. They will engage your children in their learning by being innovative and creative; this means doing things in the best way possible not doing things in "the way they've always been done". Our teachers focus will be to ensure the best educational outcomes possible for a child learning in the 21st century. We take this very seriously as we know the direct link between quality teachers and student success, engagement and growth. We look forward to the unbelievable potential that could be unleashed within your children, with the selection of the best teachers!
I am now very happy to share the amazing people who will be working in our school.

Our staff has now met on two different occasions and have initiated many important conversations as we get ready for this unbelievable experience. The energy in the room during both of our meetings has been extraordinary; I am so excited to be working with these outstanding individuals and am extremely confident that they will do amazing things with our students. The team looks forward to meeting you and your child as we prepare for the transition to the 2017-18 school year.
