About Us

We are a publicly funded secondary school established in 1971 with a current enrolment of of 762 students, supported by 91 teachers and support personnel. We offer a diverse learning experience to all of our students.

Mission

The mission of the Clare Hall Secondary School is to facilitate learning by creating experiences which result in the “holistic” (physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social and moral) development of students. Clare Hall Secondary School is dedicated to providing its students with an education that prepares them to function successfully in the society.

Vision

Clare Hall Secondary School envisions a learning community in which all stakeholders work collaboratively, as active partners, to support and enhance continuous student achievements, and professional growth of the staff, in the process of nation building.

Philosophy

The motto of the Clare Hall Secondary School hinges on its philosophy that all students can learn regardless of socio-economic background or location of residence. We contend that the purpose of education is to equip students with skills, knowledge, abilities and attitudes which will make them productive citizens – making meaningful contributions to society and engaging in continuous learning for self-development.
