Our Vision and Values
Our vision is that every student develops the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to positively contribute to our community as a responsible and caring citizen.
We encourage students to ‘strive for excellence’ – to achieve more than is required or expected academically, vocationally, socially and personally.
Our values are shown through year level themes:
- Respect
- Teamwork
- Integrity
- Resilience
We are committed to embedding our values as habits so that they become observable attributes:
- Readiness
- Resourcefulness
- Resilience
- Reflectiveness
- Reciprocity
