Principal’s Welcome

At Esslemont College our objective is to provide an educational environment in which every individual is considered a noble and spiritual being, and where excellence in all things is aimed for.  We will deliver a holistic educational program focused on the cultivation of intellectual, physical, emotional, moral, spiritual, psychological and social attributes in each child. We aim to inspire each child to fulfil their inherent potential and to contribute to the betterment of society.

Passionate and experienced teachers will provide a strong focus on academic excellence while understanding that spiritual and moral education is at the heart of the educational process and leads to the elevation and transformation of the human spirit.

We are committed to the principle of diversity and seek to enrol students from a broad range of backgrounds, welcoming all children and their families from within the local area.
