MHS want to bring alive the grand achievements of our past students (they are astonishing) to motivate the present cohort to aim high.

Alastair Fairley (Principal) and the SLT believe that if students are surrounded and supported by aspirational people then they will have high expectations of themselves, develop leadership skills and use the time on this earth to achieve outstanding things.

Have a look a few of our past students and their amazing achievements by clicking on Past Student Achievements.
