Welcome to Gawura

“The continued strong growth in Gawura this year has been extremely encouraging. It is wonderful to see the children’s day to day effort and enthusiasm for all aspects of school life. Each day begins like the last. Smiling faces, a chat with our bus driver, a race around our rooftop playground and into class to make the most of every opportunity. This love of school is infectious and it is promoting tremendous success both individually and collectively.”

John Ralph, Acting Head of Gawura, 2017

Head of School
