From the Head Of Institution Desk

As the very proud Headmaster of this academically selective Govt. Sponsored Institution with a well-respected history of providing exceptional educational outcomes and opportunities for gifted and talented young men since 1874, I warmly welcome you to the website of SOUTH SUBURBAN SCHOOL (MAIN).

We care for and appreciate each of our students as the unique individuals that they are, each with distinct talents, aptitudes, interests and needs, and each with differing learning styles. We enjoy being challenged and inspired by the people around us. Our aim to enthuse and challenge students to also be inventive and imaginative in their learning and day to day tasks. We encourage our students to develop respectful relationships with their peers, teachers and the broader community.

I am an ardent supporter of effective and innovative professional development that encourages teachers and non-teachers to be reflective and to continuously examine our practice to provide quality teaching and learning for each student.  I believe that having quality, inspirational and passionate teachers is essential to a school's success.

We are fervid about students being empowered to succeed. As Headmaster, I use all tools available to inspire staff, students and community to work together to promote student achievement and well-being.

I do not hesitate to embrace all well-being which bear the symptoms of success with respect to our school. I enjoy celebrating successes and acknowledge hard work of staff, students and community and believe this is one of the contributors fundamental to a happy school environment.

We value relationships and connections with the community with strong bonds of understanding.  Community engagement and involvement in the school is important to me as Headmaster. I regularly consult with my community as part of school self review, self assessment and encourage community engagement in the curriculum and learning programmes.

We continue our ascent towards success by asking more of ourselves today, tomorrow and forever.
