Welcome To Our Elementary School
In 1983 Hummingbird Infant School, under Mrs. Vasantha Ponnambalam’s direction as principal, opened its doors with five students. By the end of that year the school had grown to eighteen children. The vision then was to create an environment, which would be safe and spacious, with limited enrollment in each class, giving each child quality time with the teacher. This would preserve the individuality of the students and allow them to reach their full potential – intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially.
