Starting with the selection of ingredient, through preparation, cooking and presentation, the student is the centre of the action.

The Esteem Team

The Esteem Team is at the forefront of new literacy initiatives like Creative Partners and the "Breaking Through the Barrier Project" that is improving learning not only in the classroom, but in the whole school as well.

The Esteem Team is at the forefront of new Citywide planning for integrated Resources and provides a unique opportunity for students to develop not only in the classroom, but outside too. The Esteem Team prises itself in its evolutionary development rather than revolution and has developed from influencing 8 students in its first year to some 60 presently.

The Esteem Team's "New Kids on the Block Project" is due to begin in September of 2009. This project is designed to apply many of the positive techniques tested in the Esteem Team to those students of high conventional aspects of bigger class teaching.
