In the Secondary School, we strive to instil a culture of excellence and achievement by encouraging each boy to strive for his personal best in every endeavour. Students are encouraged to push boundaries, to contribute and to become involved in a diverse range of programs across academics, the arts, sport, music, outdoor education and community service.

- Experience using evidence-informed teaching strategies based on the work of prominent educational researchers including Barak Rosenshine, Doug Lemov, John Hattie and Jim Knight.
- Use explicit instruction techniques and frequent formative assessment to check for student understanding.
- Knowledge of research findings relevant to student learning and education.
- A pursuit of continuous improvement and self-reflection as a teacher.
