We look forward to working with your child this year as they learn, achieve and participate in these modern and innovative Year 1-6 STEAM ‘taster’ courses.

In 2018 the Year 1-6 STEAM programme will run for two hours each week. Students will complete two courses per term.

Each student is supported and expected to achieve at their own personal level of excellence. Students will evaluate their progress and level of enjoyment at the end of each course.

With a strong foundation built around our school values of PRIDE, we proudly provide a caring family environment where our students are nurtured and cared for.

We look forward to working alongside your child during 2018.
