As a mission of the Pinetown Methodist Church, the teaching of Jesus Christ is a core focus of the school and no effort is spared in the drive to instill a deep Christian conviction in its children. The development of sound personal values such as tolerance and respect, both for oneself and others, is inextricably linked to this drive.
