The Handle with Care Program is dedicated to fostering a supportive and compassionate school environment by ensuring that staff are informed of and responsive to the unique challenges faced by students due to external circumstances. Our mission is to promote open communication between parents and school staff, allowing for the mindful and empathetic handling of each child’s needs. Through this initiative, we aim to create a nurturing atmosphere where every student feels understood, valued, and supported, empowering them to thrive both academically and emotionally.
