Meet Our Team
The ‘S’ in our BIRDS philosophy represents us as Scholars: it states that we grow our brain every minute of every day and understand that we learn from our mistakes.
Children consider their teachers as ‘ready made’. We like to remind them that we aren’t. We were young once… we couldn’t read once… we couldn’t talk or walk once just like them. We couldn’t do long division once and sometimes we even got in trouble with our teachers!
But we were Scholars and through our commitment to learning, our grit and resilience to pursue all the opportunities given to us we reached our dreams: it was really hard but we did it… and we’re still learning.
We want to remind our children that we were once little scholars; so here we are!
