Welcome to Beaches Alternative. I am honoured to be your Principal. As an educational leader and administrator, I am dedicated to work collaboratively with the staff, students and parents to foster a safe, positive and equitable school culture ensuring student learning and well-being.

Beaches Alternative is committed to developing the whole child by providing them with the knowledge and skills to change the world. As a community-based school, we strongly emphasis family involvement and experiential learning. Parents or guardians contribute to the life of school through actively volunteering in the classroom or by being involved in different aspects of school life.

Together, we can give students the skills, tools and opportunities to develop as a whole child.

As Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Working together in partnership, we can equip students with the powerful weapon of education to change the world.
