PARTNERSHIP: “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much” Renowned author, activist and devout Christian Helen Keller wrote the above words and her extraordinary life should inspire us to listen. If it takes a village to raise a child - I believe it takes a family and school to educate them.
I would like to personally thank all parents, caregivers and extended family members for your support of your sons’ education at Liston.
We share the same faith, values and aspirations for your son - and together, I have no doubt, we can do great things.
I invite all families to continue to support your sons schooling strongly. Please note below key upcoming opportunities where you can show your support:
