Programmes Conduct In Northoaks School To Develop Students

North Oaks Primary School values all of its students. The school’s name brings up images of a forest full of strong, towering, gorgeous, and one-of-a-kind oak trees. With school grounds and rich flora surrounding the school, we envision Northoaks Primary School within a garden, kid is treated as a young plant, passing through the hands of a gardener who nurtures each child and is responsible for their development.
