At Elangeni, we believe that the ethos of the school is as important to a child's development and learning as the school's organisation and structure. We aim to foster self-esteem and respect for others, in an environment of trust and safety.
Children are encouraged to participate fully in all aspects of school life, taking pride in both their own achievements and those of their fellow pupils. Responsibility and self-discipline are encouraged in relationships, in the learning process and in the use of materials, to create an atmosphere of positive, mutual respect.
