N'Quatqua Education & Employment
N'Quatqua Education Department is here to support our students/parents/ guardians in the N'Quatqua community from Kindergarten to Grade 12 and our Post-Secondary Students.
Our children are our future. How we treat each other, they learn. If we have self respect and have respect for others, our children will become strong leaders. Our children will learn better when they are in a loving, caring, and belonging environment.
We have to kneel down to there level and listen to them, HEAR them. How we answer them, is how they learn. If our children ask "WHY?" Give them a real answer, this how they learn, they learn by asking questions. Even us as adults can ask "WHY?" we are learning something new every day.
Literacy and Numeracy are important learning areas in the growth of our children. Reading 10 minutes a day helps. Enough rest and physical activity are to be a part or our everyday lives, in school, home or work.
