We would like to create an environment where children will acquire and develop the necessary knowledge and skill to become independent, confident learners – where they will develop their self-esteem to enable them to express and achieve their full potential. We will endeavour to broaden each child’s experience to help them become spiritual, well-balanced and tolerant individuals with a respect for themselves and others.
The Industrial Revolution was a period of major changes in the way products are made. It took place more than 200 years ago and greatly affected the way people lived as well as the way they worked. The students have been busy creating these fantastic projects. How inventive!
The children in Ms. Hyland’s class had their second Storybook Reading Initiative session on Tuesday. They are all enjoying reading about Max the hedgehog and whether he’ll be able to cross the busy road safely! Again, thanks to the parents who came in and listened to the boys and girls reading, we appreciate your help and support.

Parents/Guardians,
I know that it is early in the year, but there has been a lot of discussion about the move to Secondary school recently and I am aware of entrance exams coming up. The transition to Secondary school can be challenging for both parents/guardians and the children themselves, so I’ve attached a document that should be of some help.
Thanks,
Owen - HSCL
