Welcome to a new academic year!

In this vlog, Dr Geoffrey Fisher reflects on the excitement and promise of a new academic year. He warmly welcomes students, faculty, and staff, highlighting the school’s commitment to continuous improvement and community values. Dr Fisher shares insights on recent professional development focused on integrating IT and AI in education, while emphasising the importance of human connections in learning.

He introduces a new policy banning mobile phones during school hours to foster better social interaction and protect students’ well-being. Dr Fisher proudly discusses the school’s outstanding academic achievements, with our IB students scoring significantly above the world average.

Looking ahead, the focus remains on enhancing the curriculum, particularly in key transition years, and thoughtfully incorporating IT into education. Dr Fisher concludes with a call to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the year, encouraging everyone to connect with him as needed.

Tribes for Good: Community Project

Through our partnership with Tribes For Good, Grade 11 student Vipanshi Agarwal designed and led a series of workshops for women with skills in beauty and makeup — combining financial literacy, confidence-building, and awareness of cruelty-free practices. What she found was that the skills were already there. What was missing was someone connecting those skills to the idea of income. This is her reflection on what it means to create impact, and what she learned when she stopped trying to teach and started listening.
