Admissions
Choosing a new school is an exciting experience; but, we know, it can also be a little daunting. Whether your child is in Year 5 and 6 and looking to take the next step in their Education or your child currently attends a different secondary school, you are welcome to call us to book a tour of the school. Our doors are always open to you all.
