We are very progressive in what we do and I’m lucky to have the freedom to take risks. We are truly promoting and embedding digital technology skills to boost digital engagement for the students and open new doors to their future careers.

Some of my favourite memories have most certainly been formed on the various Beyond Boundaries journeys I have undertaken over the years; getting to know the girls outside the walls of the classroom and watching them grow through the challenges these adventures provide.
