Creative Thinking

• Students will be creative and critical thinkers who draw upon a range of strategies to deal with new situations or information.

Success in Interactions

• Students will value diversity and successfully interact with others within and beyond their community in a collaborative manner.

Preparedness for the Future

• Students will demonstrate initiative, enterprise and adaptability and will be able to successfully manage change within their own lives and as part of a global community.

Skill in Communication

• Students will be able to successfully communicate in a range of settings within and beyond their own community.

Success in Learning

• Students will develop and apply knowledge, competencies and skills, which enable them to be successful now and in the future.

Self-Directed Learners

• Students will be able to initiate and implement their own learning plans. Based on constructivist theory, students will be supported in self-assessment procedures in order to reflect on and guide future learning.

The school Values identified by the school community are reflected in the everyday language at
school by staff, parents, students and community members. The Values are

• Excellence

Our ongoing commitment to our Values is reflected in our Student and Staff Wellbeing programs
