Welcome from the Principal
As parents, we are understandably particular when selecting a school for our children; we naturally wish to provide the best possible schooling for our young and impressionable children.
At Erasmus, we provide each student with a careful balance of challenges to help them to strive and achieve; we have celebrations to share in each others’ successes, and stillness exercises to help bring out the very best, no matter what the task or discipline. From a still point, launching into any activity draws on one’s innate abilities, whether it be writing, singing or throwing a javelin. This in turn can provide a sense of true self-confidence, steadiness and resilience. These qualities are already naturally there in each child; it is our job to draw them out and allow them to shine.
During these primary schooling years, with the help of a team of dedicated educators and support staff, together with a challenging academic focus, immersing our students in good material, good company and a sense of community, a firm foundation is established which assists each child to navigate through to his or her secondary years and beyond.
I invite you to come see and experience Erasmus Primary School for yourself; for your child.
