The early years of education are designed to encourage and support the development of students’ growth and to build a foundation for success. Students will acquire basic knowledge, skills, behaviours and habits for academic achievement and a lifetime of success. It is also important to help students feel a sense of self worth and a positive attitude toward learning.

Secondary school helps further develop the fundamental skills and values learned in early education, to enable students to be productive, functioning members of society. They are able to further refine their interests and focus on areas of discovery that will help them prepare of higher education or train directly in a profession.
