THE ETHOS OF KINGFISHER
Kingfisher Private School's philosophy is clearly reflected in our school motto:
"NON PENNA, SED USUS"
"NOT THE WINGS, BUT THE USE"
Each child is an individual with their own unique potential and particular talents. Kingfisher classes are small and our highly qualified and dedicated staff ensure that Kingfisher children develop a love of learning and are instilled with self-esteem and the confidence to face today's challenging world.
ACADEMICS
- Kingfisher took top awards at the 2004 District Science Exposition, winning the trophy for "Best School" for the fourth consecutive year. Students brought back a gold, four silver and two bronze medals from the 2004 National Science Exposition!
