Commando Joe’s is an engaging and fun program used to develop each individual’s resilience, empathy, self-awareness, positivity, excellence, communication and teamwork skills.

The pupils and staff complete different, exciting missions together. These missions provide the opportunity to develop life skills, a growth mindset and have a positive impact on their physical and mental well-being.
