Moriah is a large school – will my child get lost?
- Moriah has created ‘discreet schools within a school’.
- Whilst there are overlapping mentoring and buddy programs, each section of the school: Primary, Middle & High is a separate entity – this ensures the intimacy of each section is not compromised.
