Our decisions and future course are determined by our Core Purpose. It explains why we, as a school, think we're here. It serves as our compass as well, keeping us from becoming lost. Establish solid foundations for a lifelong love of study is our primary goal. We Work As A Team is the driving principle of our school. This serves as our guiding principle in all facets of school life, and it is a slogan we frequently share with the kids. Our school's goals are outlined in our Vision 2027 paper, which will mark our school's twentieth anniversary. Our Learner Values are the precise character traits that we want to foster in each of our students so that they will be lifelong learners. All aspects of our curriculum contribute to the development of students' understanding of the learner values, and during our weekly celebration assemblies, we recognise students who are demonstrating these values.
