The mountaineer Conrad Anker wrote that 'the summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters'.
Inspired by this, at Mount Kelly we believe that our achievements lie not only in the outcomes examinations passed and races won but in the long hours of preparation, practice and training that leave deep and positive impressions, long after the dust has settled. 'the summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters.'
At Mount Kelly we focus as much on the 'how' and the 'why', as on the 'what'; our staff understand that each step they take with a pupil informs more than the final outcome.
