Our approach to each child's education is set in the context of our belief that children should delight in effort, delight in acceptance and delight in achievement. The children who make up the School Council are an important part of our team and we trust them to ensure that the views of all Botanic children are taken into account. We meet every three weeks to discuss issues raised and to decide how we are going to help to move things forward.
