Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
When the school first opened McCaughey House was the home for all students.
Upstairs was made up of dorms where all the students would live after the school day was done. Over the years as the school has expanded, McCaughey House has been turned into a building full of offices. These include:
- The Principal's office
- Deputy Principal (Residential)
- Deputy Principal (Day School)
- Deputy Principal (Instructional Leader)
The front office ladies handle answering of phones, emails, publishing the school newsletter, updating student information, answering any questions that students have, contacting parents when needed and more.
The Registrar's office handles all fees and payments, including student and business accounts, and all student travel and leave, including weekly, designated leave and holiday leave.
