Teamwork: Working together to get the best out of each other

Explore. Dream. Discover

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed with the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain

There have never been truer words spoken and I am sure as we all reflect on our past, there are things that we would do very differently in all aspects of our lives.

As I look around our Junior School and observe the opportunities that are being presented and the challenges that are being met by the young men entrusted into our care, I cannot help but think that there will not be too many that will be disappointed with their past when it becomes their turn to reflect on twenty years gone.

The following articles outlining some special Junior School activites merely touch the surface of all that is on offer: activities that provide the opportunity for boys to discover their own ‘spark’ and that go on to develop and increase self-esteem. Combined with a truly magnificent staff and the unwavering support of the home, the vital ingredients for the development of future leaders can be clearly seen in everyday life in the Junior School.

Our aim is to ensure that twenty years from now, ex-Junior School boys will be able to reflect that they made the most of everything presented and that their lives are better off from meeting the breadth of challenges head on.
