Students are growing up in a larger multi-cultural and multi-racial society where they are subject to various attitudes toward minority groups and the images of these groups portrayed in the media, regardless of the nature of their local community and their special educational needs and disabilities.
Our main goal is to maximise each student's progress and achievement while involving, empowering, and enabling them to maximise their possibilities for success in life.
Achieving our goals and maintaining the uplifting culture of our school depends on upholding our values.
Values serve as a moral compass that directs our daily learning, thinking, and decision-making.
The culture and lived experiences of daily school life for all students reflect the influence of our principles.
The kids are at the centre of everything we do at Percy Hedley School.
Our top objective is to give our community's kids the best teaching and therapy possible while also giving them rich, interesting, and fun learning opportunities.
The goal of all we do as a school is to guarantee that every student succeeds in every area of their development.
Our integrated staff teams are acutely aware that students only have one opportunity to receive an education, and it is our responsibility to guarantee that each student realises their full potential and strives for the highest levels of personal growth and achievement.
Ensure that all children are in a stimulating, safe environment where they have the chance to develop to their greatest potential.
Respect each child's accomplishments, both academic and extracurricular.
Give all kids equitable access to the curriculum and the school environment in a setting where people's individual differences are valued, recognised, comprehended, and accepted.
