Meet the Head

Choosing the right school for your child is the most important contribution you will make to his or her education.

HTS is a remarkable place; a vibrant, caring community with students from JK to Grade 12, whose talents are developed by combining the best elements of traditional teaching with modern educational thinking.

An outstanding academic program enables the students to thrive and prepares them thoroughly for success at university and beyond.  This is complemented by extensive sports, music, drama and art programs that provide a rich and well-rounded school experience for students of every age.  What truly sets HTS apart though is our focus on character and values – respect, integrity, leadership and confidence – to help our young people develop exceptional capabilities and a strong moral compass.

The pages which follow will give you some idea of an HTS education, but they are no substitute for a visit. If you would like to understand more about us, please take the next step and contact our Admissions Office to arrange a tour of the school, or attend an Open House. Walk round the School and you will be struck by the happy and friendly atmosphere. Talk to the students and faculty; feel the energy, purpose and the determination to do well. HTS is no ordinary school and I am confident you will like what you see.

I look forward to meeting you.
