Ethos

OUR PURPOSE 

Our purpose is to prepare our students for life in the 21st Century

• In doing so they will become committed, curious, happy learners,
• Flexible in their thinking,
• Independent in their learning,
• Effective in their communication skills,
• Inspired to become life long learners.

OUR INTENT 

Our intent is to actively promote 'continuing' learning throughout the whole school community, in which:

• High self esteem is developed by recognising success,
• Change is welcomed,
• All demonstrate the conviction that the school is infinitely improvable,
• All demonstrate the view that optimism can be taught and positive thinking is a virtue,
• The role of parents in developing learning is explicit, recognised and valued,
• Technology is used to develop borderless thinking and to transcend the boundaries of time, place and subject content.

OUR VISION

That as a School Community:

• We will create a safe inclusive environment,
• We will develop a passion for learning rather than an acquisition of knowledge,
• We will develop the desire and aptitude to be inquiring, willing to test and hypothesise, and to take risks,
• We will become creative problem solvers and effective decision makers,
• We will develop high levels of communication skills.

WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS BY

Defining our role as:

• Inspiring students with curiosity by our example,
• Developing in our students the capacity to ask questions rather than providing them with answers,
• Recognising and celebrating the achievement of all students,
• Identifying and maximising the full potential of all students.
