Comment:
I was very impressed when I visited from NZ in 2007. It was brilliant to see the students so motivated & engaged in their classroom activities. Management & Teachers alike were passionate about their roles. Schools like this can make such a positive difference to the kids longterm outcomes. Keep up the great work...and my wish is to someday(somehow) emulate this programme in New Zealand. It's a shame that the mighty dollar is allowed to overshadow the value of our children's education.
