Asked what the additional secret of performance is, the senior teacher Philip Limanyang said that appropriate questioning, modelling and explanation technique has been adapted by the school.

Our school acknowledges individual strengths and has outlined each team members responsibilities. In games, we are not left behind as we are a towering institution.
