We believe in: Learners Who Flourish
We value:
- Thinking Big; curiosity, love of learning, creativity
- Stepping Up; honesty, self-regulation, perseverance
- Paying It Forward; gratitude, hope, social intelligence
- Being Kind; humility, forgiveness, fairness
We are:
A high performing, co-educational, Independent Public School that values diversity and supports full inclusion.
We trust that:
Every
student, every day, has the opportunity to feel a sense of belonging in
our community through teamwork, loyalty and leadership, and is able to
engage in learning that sparks their engagement, curiosity, joy and
passion.
We currently have four major areas that underpin what we value:
1. Academic growth and excellence
2. Arts excellence; performing arts and visual arts
3. Volleyball excellence; developing physical and mental toughness
4.
Being a leader in student wellbeing and in student leadership through
our unique Applied Positive Psychology program; putting our values into
practice
Into the future there are two more areas to develop
as our student enrolment grows and our school matures into the next
decade (2020-2030).
We aspire to becoming a leader in:
1. STEAM teaching and learning (Science, Technologies, Engineering, Arts, Maths)
2.
Global teaching and learning; introducing more languages, increasing
extra-curricular and co-curricular programs that allow students to learn
and have experiences on a global level
We will achieve this by:
- Implementing our school based, high quality teaching and learning framework that supports thinking and self-regulation.
- Systematically delivering the 7-12 Australian curriculum with fidelity
- Creating
time for staff to have intentional collaboration about their pedagogy
in order to improve every students learning engagement and
opportunities.
- Developing every students and staff member's wellbeing through a lens of positive psychology.
