Vision and Values
Enjoyment, Engagement, Excellence
Every child
Enjoyment
We believe that children who enjoy coming to school will be in the best frame of mind to learn. Our school seeks to provide enjoyable experiences everyday for children of all ages, through a rich curriculum. We are fortunate to have the wilderness (an area of beautiful woodland attached to our school) that gives us numerous opportunities to take our learning outside.
Engagement
Children who are engaged in school are more likely to feel successful in their learning. As a school, our desire is to provide a safe, positive and creative environment where learning is stimulated for students and opportunities for high engagement are offered in every lesson, every day.
Excellence
Our desire is to achieve excellence in everything for our children and all stakeholders associated with the school. From maintaining our building, to providing excellent resources and high quality experiences for our children, we strive to always do our best. This value is one we endeavour to pass on to the children so that they will be proud of their work and achievements too.
Our Vision
We believe that through enjoyable experiences and engagement, our children will achieve excellent outcomes. We are the start of a learning journey that will last a life time.
