Medical Care

The school has a well-equipped medical dispensary under the control of a permanent doctor. All cases of injury or illness receive immediate medical attention. Whenever specialized medical aid is required, emergency transport is available to take the student to the hospital. All students receive regular medical examinations and our dispensary works in close conjunction with the Department of Health and Medical Services.

The Library

There are two well-resourced libraries, the Primary Library and the Secondary Library, that provide students with a wide array of resources, information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning successfully in today’s information and knowledge-based society.

The school features three fully-equipped science laboratories that aims to employ a ‘hands on’ approach to Science both in the laboratory and outside, inspiring the students curiosity in the world around us. We encourage independent thinking by empowering students and providing them with the tools to investigate problems and find the answers.
