From The Principal

Our core values provide a valuable template to reflect upon our actions and relationships. What we model to others is what they will reflect back to us; how we live our lives influences how others live their lives.

Achievement – Accomplishing ‘personal bests’ in the world of work, education and personal development
Care and Compassion – Being emotionally and physically supported, helping others and understanding their perspectives
Resilience – The mental/psychological skill to properly adapt to stress and adversity
Respect – Honour or regard for the worth of others
Responsibility – Being personally accountable for and able to make decisions influencing a course of action.

In providing the best possible education and future opportunities for our students we recognise that there are two journeys through school. The first journey is the academic journey, building knowledge, skills and understandings of the world in which we live.

The second journey is the development of our character and personality, our relationships and belonging. This journey is the development of skills and understandings of who we are, how we relate to others, how we see ourselves and how we belong in our families and community.

Combined, these are the journeys of being human: living, relating, belonging and growing in knowledge and understanding.

For young people to thrive in an uncertain world requires focus and effort on our part; parents and staff working in partnership. The rewards accrue to our young people and they are both significant and attainable.

For your children, our students to thrive in an uncertain world, they need to take the opportunities collectively provided by us, and they, like us, have to show focus and effort, giving of their best and building resilience.
