EXPECTATIONS OF SCHOLARS 

Our scholars are role models in all areas of school life and they always lead by example. Their diligence and conscientious approach in school have a positive influence on others around them, and their support for their peers is highly valued.

We expect all scholars to go beyond the confines of the syllabus and to participate in Clubs and Societies that stretch and challenge them beyond the limits of the examined curriculum and without the bounds of normal subject disciplines.

They are expected to act as role models and, through their passion, efforts and achievements, to encourage their peers to develop ever-higher levels of academic, aesthetic, athletic, innovation, leadership motivation and ambition.  

All scholarship holders are expected to plan, implement and evaluate a Scholarship initiative of their choice. Scholars will be provided a mentor and have regular check-ins with the Senior School Principal to evaluate the progress of their initiative.
