nurture, guide, inspire and challenge students to
find the joy in learning, to build their skills and
understanding, and to make sense of their world.
having confidence that each individual child will be
known and understood, and their individual potential
developed.
knowing that they are well supported as increasingly
self motivated learners confident and creative
individuals, with the personal resources for future
success and wellbeing.
