Headmistress Mrs Olivera Raraty commented, “We are very proud of our Year 11 – a busy group with a broad range of interests and talents. Our Year 11s are real “all-rounder” pupils who spend a lot of time in extra-curricular activities, from hockey to drama, fencing to dancing and music to debating, and still achieve academically.”

“At MSJ, the holistic approach holds true: we believe that grades are important, but so is character development where the focus in not on academics alone but also soft skills and enjoyment of pursuits outside of academic workload.”

“Pupils’ achievement is testimony to their hard work and the quality of teaching from a very experienced and dedicated staff body who have supported them both in and out of the classroom. We always work with our pupils as individuals to help them grow and they benefit enormously from this expert care.”
