Student Values
We treat others how we would like to be treated, showing kindness and good manners. We are honest, demonstrate good morals and do the right thing even when no one is watching.
We are responsible for the choices we make and believe that taking responsibility for our actions wins the day. We learn from our mistakes, move forward and improve.
We believe in ourselves to be the best that we can be and do not give up. At all times we display a ‘whatever it takes’ attitude; we get on, do it and make it happen.
We value our education and aspire to excellence in everything we do. We have high expectations of ourselves, our work and our behaviour, always committed to pushing ourselves to do our absolute best.
