Our Staff

At Hermitage House, we recognise that education goes beyond the classroom. We are committed to nurturing every student's spiritual, academic, social, cultural, and physical development. By promoting enthusiasm, self-discipline, self-motivation, and responsibility, we instil a strong Christian ethos and other valuable qualities that will benefit our students throughout their lives. These qualities, developed at a young and receptive age, are crucial for establishing the foundation for lifelong success.

Our educators and mentors play a crucial role in shaping the future of our students. Our staff work together, inspire each other, and remain dedicated to excellence.

Together, we can create an environment where every child feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
