Our vision is to develop, in partnership with the whole community, an effective, caring and dynamic learning community. The learning community is founded on an educational philosophy centred on the child, and grounded in the belief that all students can learn and all students have the right to become effective learners. It is important to continue to strengthen the partnership between staff, the students and their parents if this vision is to be achieved. Through our school Strategic Plan, which is underpinned by our Annual Implementation Plan, we will endeavour to develop the teaching practices and learning that supports this philosophy.

We will use a model of professional learning that promotes and develops these effective practices and has at its core, the essential elements for learning; constructivism, inquiry, collaboration, self-responsibility and personal development in an environment of challenge and support. These core practices enable us to build a community of global learners. The professional learning of teachers will be both focused and tied to our agreed direction of improving learning and teaching, and as a result, improving student outcomes.

We value opportunities for student voice, choice and ownership of their own learning. We strive to inspire students to be lifelong learners and take risks with their learning, pursue their interests and flourish under our guidance.
