Five Guiding
Principles
Our purpose is shaped by our
Five Guiding Principles
Courage
We have courage of conviction, confidence to ask
the hard questions, to be enquiring of the world, to
advocate and act independently with resilience in the
face of adversity.
Excellence
We value excellence and the fulfilment of our
potential within and beyond the classroom in study
and play, individually and in teams, at school and in
our community and in local, national and international
contexts. We recognise that the pathway to personal
excellence is paved of grit.
Respect
We are fair-minded in our thinking and actions and
foster acceptance, tolerance and understanding. We
acknowledge and celebrate diversity because we
respect ourselves, others and the world around us.
Optimism
We are purposeful and positive in our outlook on life,
believing in and understanding our unique capabilities
as individuals and as a country, to make a difference to
contribute to humanity, to craft our own destiny. Our
motto is
always towards better things
.
Compassion
We are other-person centered, giving of our time and
our energy, our emotions and friendships and we foster
caring, thoughtful relationships.
