Communication from the Principal

Dear Parents, Staff members and Students 

Welcome to Blue Hills preparatory school! We are delighted to have you as part of our school community, and partners in the education of our children. 

I would like to take this opportunity to share some of the positive aspects of our school, making it a unique and enriching educational environment for your children.

Strong Christian Values: Our school is grounded in Christian principles and values, providing a nurturing environment where children can develop not only academically but also morally and spiritually. We strive to foster a sense of compassion, respect, and integrity in our students, helping them grow into well-rounded individuals.

At our school, we place a strong emphasis on academic achievement. Our dedicated and passionate teaching staff are committed to providing a rigorous curriculum that challenges and inspires students to reach their full potential. We aim to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities necessary for their future success.

We believe in the importance of personalized education. Our smaller class sizes allow our teachers to provide individual attention and support to each student, ensuring that they receive the necessary guidance to thrive academically and personally. We value the uniqueness of each child and work to meet their specific needs. We provide a “Web-of-Care” to support children needing extra attention in certain areas. 

In addition to academic growth, we prioritize character development. Our school strives to instill virtues such as kindness and empathy in our children. We model and live our values: Integrity; Diligence; Discipline; Respect; and Courage. Through various activities, we aim to nurture their social and emotional well-being, preparing them for a life of purpose and contribution.

Our school is more than just an educational institution; it is a close-knit community , providing a warm and inclusive atmosphere where parents, teachers, and students collaborate and support each other. We encourage open communication and active involvement in school activities, creating a sense of belonging and shared values.

We believe in the holistic development of our students. Alongside our academic curriculum, we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, music, and clubs. These activities allow students to explore their interests, develop their talents, and build lifelong friendships.

The well-being and safety of our students are of paramount importance to us. We maintain a secure and nurturing environment where children can lea and grow without fear. Our staff members are encouraged to provide support and care, fostering a sense of trust and creating a positive school experience for all.

We are confident that Blue Hills Preparatory School offers a solid foundation for your child's educational jou ey. We look forward to partnering with you in nurturing their academic, spiritual, and personal growth. 

Together, let us embark on this exciting jou ey filled with possibilities and achievements. Thank you for entrusting us with the education of your child.

Strategy

As the Principal of Blue Hills Preparatory School, my approach to discipline is rooted in creating a safe and respectful environment that supports the well-being and success of all members of our community. Our discipline strategy is founded on the principles of fai ess, consistency, and positive behavior reinforcement.

 

We believe in promoting good conduct through positive reinforcement, while addressing behavioral issues promptly and effectively. Our discipline policy is clearly communicated to all stakeholders and includes measures such as progressive discipline, counseling, and mediation. Students are provided with resources and support to develop essential social-emotional skills and strategies to manage their behavior.

 

We understand the importance of restorative justice, where students are held accountable for their actions, but also have the opportunity to repair any harm caused and make amends. We work collaboratively with parents and the broader community to reinforce our expectations and provide a consistent approach to discipline.

 

Through regular communication and collaboration, we aim to foster a positive and respectful school culture that prioritizes the well-being and success of our students, staff, and faculty.
