be about making friends, and that learning and growing – in a space they are cared for – should be a fun and welcoming experience.

Years of experience has shown that children are more likely to succeed when they feel a strong connection to their school and peers, which is why they provide a personalised and innovative approach to education that helps children develop their academic, emotional, and social skills. With this in mind, Redwood is taking great strides in creating a strong community (amongst its students, parents and teachers) that is built on a foundation of strong faith and a family-based culture. »
