Principal's Message
Clarke Stroupe
School Principal
At Harrods, we are constantly looking at ways to improve, innovate and create. With great attention to detail, we are driving our students to show discipline, responsibility, independence, collaboration and respect, grounded in strong moral principles. We inspire our students to put their heart into all that they do; to find the things that they love; and to display kindness, empathy and compassion for those around them. We motivate our students to solve problems and work towards solutions; to critically analyse, question, inquire and investigate; to think bigger and to imagine all possibilities. We equip our students with real-life application skills of the 21st Century such as digital literacy, global perspectives, research-based thinking and entrepreneurship. We support our students to be the best version of themselves, to build on their strengths and to challenge themselves.
We do all of this in an environment that is holistic, organic, supportive and nurturing, focusing on the whole development of the child, at the pace of the child. An environment that promotes, develops and delivers teaching excellence and complexity, working to the highest of standards and striving to be a model for best practice. I feel honoured to be a part of and to represent such a team.
I am beyond proud to lead a school that recognises each of its students, teachers and community members as a valued, celebrated and beautifully diverse individual.
This is who we are at Harrods. This is Learning the Harrods Way.
