Mission Statement
I strongly believe that learning outside the classroom can help raise achievement, improve classroom behaviour and improve the engagement of students. The opportunities that I have provided for my CAPA students, in particular - Stage 6 Dance students, has given me immense joy to see these students thrive within and outside the classroom. I am immensely proud of the achievements of our students and the support that the APHS CAPA faculty has and continues to provide.
