The time your child will spend in primary education is exciting, challenging, rewarding and fulfilling. It is, after all, the most important period of your child's life as well as in the life of your family. Children to enjoy school, to be happy, to have self-esteem and to develop confidence in themselves and their abilities. The main aim is to acknowledge children as individuals that have differing strengths and weaknesses, and support them in achieving their full potential, guiding them to give their best by appreciating what they do well and helping them see how they could do better.
Children's educational results are maximised wherever parents are actively involved in the school and thus strive to forge solid partnerships between children, teachers and parents, enabling them to actively participate together for a positive educational outcome.
