We recognise that high performance in all aspects of our business depends on our ability to attract and retain the most talented, passionate and committed people.
The FMHS therefore strives to build an institutional culture that welcomes, develops and supports a diversity of students and staff. It also fosters an inclusive environment characterised by mutual respect, where everyone can learn and work free of discrimination.
