Michael Mount does not focus solely on our students leaving school with a good matric. Our unique curriculum encourages each of our students to excel as individuals in a range of fields, so that they may go into the world as “free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives.” ~ Rudolf Steiner. Subsequently, we take this moment not only to celebrate all our students’ impressive academic achievements, but also the well-rounded, confident human beings they have grown into throughout the course of their schooling.
Congratulations, Class of 2020! We wish you all the best in your future endeavours, whatever they may be.
