Personal Note

I’m Margarida Santos and I’ve always had a strong passion for volunteering and helping people. That’s why, alongside a career in education, I chose to become a volunteer firefighter.

I have always believed that teaching how to be matters even more than teaching how to do—passing on values such as empathy, solidarity and responsibility.

At school, I believe forming citizens who are conscious and engaged with their community is just as essential as academic learning. With dedication and enthusiasm, I try to inspire pupils and the whole school community to see how small actions can create big impacts.
