PRINCIPALS WELCOME

The African proverb: It takes a whole village to raise a child, reminds all who care for children that education is an important and complex activity

The village metaphor stresses the vital need for a community to work as a team in nurturing the spirit, intellect and energy of its young. Parents will want assurance that the values, which guide their efforts at home, are to be found also in the school of their choice. When both are aligned the partnership of parent and teacher has profound possibilities for a student's well-being and achievement.

At Saint Kentigern School, our community of highly competent teachers and support staff is dedicated to the complex and rewarding task of raising boys to become men. The integrity and expertise of these people keeps us at the leading edge of educational innovation while maintaining discipline standards, which parents see as an extension of their own homes. The School also specialises in consulting with parents on effective ways for improving communication with children at home and at school to enhance their motivation and social skills

A visit to the Shore Road campus will enable you to see our happy and productive environment, which promotes achievement, confidence and humility in our young men. You will be welcome to view all facilities and talk with staff about the opportunities that they offer enthusiastically to their students.

If your contact with us is currently confined to our website, I invite you to contact us for a prospectus and discuss the opportunities available to visit the School and discover for yourself the benefit of a premium boys' education for your son.
