“To provide an
educational environment in which inclusive ethics and values are promoted
overtly, and where academic excellence, orthodox discipline, a gracious social
demeanour and full student participation in the learning, pastoral and
co-curricular functions of the school are fostered. To provide an educational
environment in which students will be prepared for a comfortable and successful
life as adults by immersing their learning in the digital, inter-active and
multi-media medium of their time.”

Philosophy
Our mission
statement obliges the school to acknowledge that education involves the
development of the whole person – intellectual, physical, emotional,
social and moral – and that it should prepare young men and women to be
effective, active and positive members of our rapidly changing world of
the 21st Century. Out of our mission we have developed the philosophy
that:
• adheres to the non-denominational ethos which embraces all faiths.
• fosters a genuine understanding of our multi-cultural society and
Australia’s place in the world as a very successful multi-cultural
society.
• provides an holistic integrated educational experience for students of
child care, primary and secondary school which develops problem-solving,
decision making and creative thinking skills.
• provides a developmental curriculum delivery where each student’s
program is based on his/her individual progress and readiness.
• provides a set of “Essential Learnings” which unifies learning in all
subject areas.
• acknowledges and accepts responsibility for preparing students for the
“Age of Information and Communication”.
• cultivates intellectual values, promoting students’ integrity, respect
for truth, openness to reality and other scholarly virtues.
• provides an educational program that promotes the achievement of
excellence (with honour) through the provision of seamless curriculum in
an environment of consistent values and expectations. |
