Ms Mimi Ly

Personal message: Our children are our future and as an educator and parent, I believe the greatest gifts we can give our children are our faith and an education- an education that nurtures and fosters the spiritual, moral, social, intellectual and physical development of each individual. I believe in the importance of relationships and working in partnership with our parents, the child’s first educator, to meet the child where they are at and encouraging, supporting and challenging them to be the best learner and person they can be.
