Our Guiding Statements

Our Guiding Statements in Action

This dashboard provides both an evaluation and a reporting mechanism for the areas of the Guiding Statements. All strategic projects (Annual Strategic Development Plan, Head of School Goals, Accreditation Matters To Be Addressed) have each been associated with one or several of the seven Guiding Statements and labelled with a Guiding Statement code. We then evaluate our development progress (here as a 'summary') through a 1 to 5 rating scale and an associated traffic light colour system indicating the progress of each project, which therefore allows us to measure the guiding statements' impact.
