The Principal

Avondale is a co-educational, international grammar school for expatriate children in Singapore and welcomes children of all nationalities. Our School offers a proven curriculum and sound educational framework set in an environment which fosters a love of and excitement about learning – “a lifelong love of learning”.

At Avondale Grammar School we have limits on class sizes and low teacher/pupil ratios, enabling children to thrive in a nurturing environment with higher levels of individual and small group instruction. Small class sizes, combined with our dedication to providing the highest levels of pastoral care, create an environment where students are free to embrace and enjoy learning. At Avondale all the teachers know and understand the individual needs of every student.

The Australian private school system provides a world class educational opportunity for children of many nationalities and it is this educational model on which Avondale Grammar is founded.

At Avondale Grammar School we encourage each student to develop their potential in a caring environment, which encourages personal and academic excellence, and helps each child develop a philosophy of life which will enable them to be an independent, productive and compassionate member of an international community.

When your child starts at a new school it’s not just your child that joins a new community, in effect, the whole family joins as well. At Avondale, we provide a warm and welcoming environment that helps families to settle quickly and smoothly into Avondale and into life in Singapore. Parents are actively encouraged to participate in many areas of school life, and to enjoy interacting with their own child and with other families in a variety of ways.

It is a privilege for me to lead a school that encourages excellence, enthusiasm, effort and independence and which is centered in a community which is welcoming to all families and respectful of different cultures. We recognise and celebrate each child’s successes (big and small) along their own learning path and we are committed to exploring each child’s personal and academic potential.

We are proud to provide exceptional educational opportunities to all our students and we look forward to welcoming your family to the Avondale Community!
