Summary

Our school is a caring community in which each child feels valued. We believe it is vital to create an environment in which individual self-esteem flourishes. Clearwater Bay School is a vibrant, welcoming and secure environment where each child is encouraged to explore his/her individual capabilities and interests. Complementing personal growth, is the collective pride which develops from class and group activities, and the participation in such activities as the class assembly, or school productions. The achievement of high self-esteem, confidence and a sense of belonging are strongly supported by our pastoral care of pupils.

For secondary and older primary students, applicants' academic background, previous school reports and supporting documents will also be taken into account. Applicants must be able to demonstrate appropriate social skills, behavioural responsibility and the principles of good citizenship.
