Core Values
Core values have been developed by SPIDER parents and teachers over time.
We review these once a year.
At the 2023/2024 Year End Parents Meeting, everyone was given four dots to use to indicate the 5 core values that were most important to them. Those with less votes are not unimportant; they’re still part of our top 10.
The ranking for this year, and number of votes received, is
Sustaining a sense of community (12)
