HEAD
OF SCHOOL’S COMMENT
Have you
ever thought about what Wildwood would be like without
the students, or the teachers, or the
parents? In my mind, the result would be like a
three-legged stool, missing one of the legs! Wildwood
is unique in that our educational institution consists
of people, rather than just buildings – and what special
people.
One leg
of the stool is represented by our students. They are
the lifeblood of the school and the reason for the
school’s existence in the first place. The second leg
of the stool is symbolic of our teachers. They are the
nurturers, who help each individual along the learning
path. Last, but not least, the third leg of the stool
stands for our parents. They are Wildwood’s supporters,
who want their children to experience “excellence in
education” and are willing to foster the school and its
mission in so many ways.
For the
stool to be stable, all three legs need to be in place.
At Wildwood, I think they are!
