Our School Values
Our school motto is ‘Learning for Life’: our core business is ensuring high quality teaching to maximise student achievement, but we also know that learning does not stop when school ends. We want our students to develop the interpersonal skills that will allow them to be happy and contributing members of their families and communities, and the thinking skills they will need to continue learning throughout their lives, so they can respond to the changing world, as well as follow their personal interests. To help our students learn well at school and to develop the life skills they will need, all our work is done through the lens of our four school values. Together with our families, we are taking up the challenge of providing an engaging, safe and outcomes focused learning environment where each individual is valued.
I am responsible, I am brave, I am resourceful and I am a learner.
Being responsible means do the right thing even when no-one is watching. It means being honest, thinking about others, looking after everyone’s property and the environment.
Being brave means making good choices even when it’s hard. It means having the confidence and courage to stand up for what’s right, learn from your mistakes, and try new things.
Being resourceful means being a problem-solver and thinking for yourself. It means knowing where and when to seek help. It means looking after our world and using resources wisely.
Being a learner means striving to improve and always doing your best. It means thinking hard and persisting, even when the work is difficult. It means accepting that people learn differently and helping everyone to do their best.
Life-long learners are responsible, brave, and resourceful, everywhere and always.
