Founded in 2013
The school opened its doors in 2013 with 42 children enrolled. Our intake grades were all in the primary school and the staff complement comprised 5 teachers plus 1 administrative genius and Dr Herbie Staples, the founder. The call made to open such a school was very well supported by the therapists in the area and by the community. Our school grew visibly from the word go. By the beginning of 2014 we had 134 students. The combined schools in subsequent years has grown to an enrolment of +/- 450 students.
