SHINE Academy for Girls proudly presents a tailored program in social and emotional intelligence, designed specifically for girls aged 5 to 16. Our proactive approach aims to cultivate resilience, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and healthy confidence. We emphasise the value of good manners, exceptional communication skills, critical thinking, common sense application, leadership abilities, innovative thinking, and the capacity to resist peer pressure. Our comprehensive curriculum equips girls with a wide range of social skills, enabling them to thrive in today's challenging world, which can sometimes be unkind. A significant focus of our teachings centres around the connection between one's self-worth and the content of their character, rather than their appearance, wealth, possessions, or seeking validation from others.

The Longford & Fraser Leadership Academy for Boys proudly introduces an exceptional program tailored for boys aged 5 to 16, focusing on essential life and leadership skills encompassing emotional intelligence (EQ), social intelligence (SQ), and adaptability/adversity intelligence (AQ). In today's ever-changing world, both children and adults encounter unique challenges and pressures. By proactively nurturing skills such as resilience, the ability to withstand peer pressure, exceptional communication abilities, self-respect, a balanced and confident mindset, a high tolerance for frustration, critical thinking prowess, good sportsmanship, self-discipline, and assertive communication, we pave the way for our sons to navigate life with greater ease and establish the groundwork for excellence, success, and well-being. Society has come to realise that while IQ and academic achievements hold importance, our true success in life hinges upon our capacity to connect, empathise, engage, demonstrate responsible behaviour, prioritise challenging tasks, offer genuine apologies, and communicate effectively with others.
