Teaching Beliefs

Life long learners

We believe it is important that our students develop the attributes to thrive in what will be a constantly changing world. We encourage risk taking while fostering the skills of managing self. We promote children to be thinkers, problem solvers and users of information to solve issues to improve their own and others' lives.

Learning is engaging, varied, relevant, broad, rich and fun

We believe it is important that our classroom lessons have:

Variety
Cater to learning styles
Have an authentic purpose
Connect on a deeper level through recognising and drawing upon personal experience and cultural backgrounds
Are child centred while drawing upon the benefits of both personal inquiry and discovery coupled with solid guided teaching principles
High expectations
Draw upon community input, ideas and expertise
Weave through and develop key competencies and values
Foster the notion of creating life long learners
Provide additional tuition to develop language for English as a second language learners

All of our programmes are hand selected based on the evidence of success in school and experts in the field of academia along with what we know is suitable for our children in the context of our school based on behaviour, culture, interest and learning needs.

We believe it is vitally important that our students and parents feel our school is a safe, inclusive and caring learning community that embraces and fosters strong family and community input.

We expect children to do their best

We believe it is very important that our students come to the realisation that it is their responsibility to do their personal best in whatever they undertake.
