The I Values

Education at HHIS is structured around our eight key I Values. These values form the fundamental core of our existence and are the centre around which subjects, curriculum themes and all daily experience revolve. The expectations implicit in the ‘I’ values are visible within everyday life for everyone and our consistent promotion of these values, enables all of our students to become confident, caring, life-long learners.

Across the whole school, the I Values are evident and support successful learning. As students mature, the values begin to develop further and take on new meanings for each individual. Working together, our oldest students and teachers reflected on how the I Values link to the IB Learner Profile and promote success in the classroom and beyond. This is shared below...
