Greetings,

I am Nicholas Dirk Cooper-Neaves, Rio Claro born and bred. It is with a humble heart that I assume the role of Principal at this noble institution.

During my tenure, I intend to carry out my duties and responsibilities without fear, favour, malice, or ill will. My primary goal is to ensure that every student receives a quality education, supported by an unwavering focus on our four A’s: Accountability, Attendance, Achievement, and Attitude.

All students, regardless of their background or personal circumstances, are capable of learning effectively. It is my desire to see every student leave this institution with meaningful value added to their lives.

I aim to aid my teachers in becoming the best teachers possible with the necessary guidance and support needed. I hope to encourage them and continue to build the Presentation Family.

While parents and guardians rightfully expect much from our teachers, they also have a critical role to play. They are in charge—and would be encouraged to take their responsibility seriously. They must remain mindful that every student has a right to an education, but with that right comes significant responsibility.

As educators we want what is best for our students, and I believe all our stakeholders do as well. Let us forge ahead bent on making the best of the opportunity given us and help our school continue to grow into the beacon it was meant to be.  `

Thank you.

Yours in Education
