The Greek School Committee
We are made up of student’s parents, members of the community and teachers, as well as ex-students. We are all committed to welcoming responsible members of our community to join us in playing a positive role in developing and helping our school.
We do this by:

- Being welcoming, and approachable to parents
- Valuing the skills and insights people bring from diverse backgrounds
- Bringing out the best in others by supporting them, and setting an inspiring example by always doing our best
