There is a weekly programme called 'Skills For Life' designed for each specific age range, to encourage self-esteem and to help our students develop informed opinions on many social and moral issues. Peer group education is also important and we have the ‘Buddies’ who offer a friendly ear to younger girls who want to talk to someone closer to their own age about anything that is worrying them.
The culture we promote throughout our school is one of tolerance, openness, responsibility and mutual respect. These values are presented in assemblies usually led by our senior staff but also by the girls themselves. The School Council is made up of girls from every year in the school and at their regular meetings they discuss issues which affect everyone in the community. Our girls raise a great deal of money for a variety of charities and the Charity Committee has organised many fundraising events including the very popular Balloon days.
