Our Team
Our group is powered by the dedication of passionate volunteers. Here are a few people in our current team.

Since retiring from his Principal role, he has resumed teaching part-time and has worked with the education faculties of several universities. Along with Kaye, he coordinates WRS, provides teacher training and leads our KL trips.
