The Intermediate and Senior Phases introduce the eight Learning Areas of the National Curriculum. The focus of teaching is outcomes-based and emphasis is placed on skills, values and attitudes. This integrated curriculum is of particular relevance to the pupils as all subjects incorporate a multi-media approach and are facilitated by the extensive range of equipment available in each classroom. Computer skills form an integral part of the lessons and the link between the computer centre and the library greatly enhances the girls ability to utilise both books and electronic resources. Mathematics and Natural Sciences are of increasing importance in the modern world and emphasis is placed on extending and enriching knowledge in these subjects. A well-equipped Science laboratory enables our pupils to learn in an interactive and practical environment.
