Live - Preparing children for life.

• We believe in preparing children for life, helping them to find their place in the world.

• We do this by ensuring the things we do have a purpose beyond our school boundaries and ensure we keep things relevant.

Love - Love ourselves, learning, our community, and each other.

1. • • • We want children to love themselves, being confident, proud and happy individuals.

       • We want children to love learning, finding something that they have passion for and excites them.

       • We want children to love where they live, taking care of their environment and people around them.

Laugh - At themselves and with each other

1. • • • We want to develop children who have a sense of humour, can be confident to laugh at themselves, the staff and with others.

       • We want learning to be fun - hands-on and inspiring.

       • Sometimes we even do things just for fun, to make lasting positive memories.

Learn - More than you ever thought was possible

1. • • • We want learning that focuses on developing children who are confident readers, writers and mathematicians.

       • We want learning that extends beyond the academic and truly values a wide range of subjects.

       • We want children to learn HOW to think, not WHAT to think.
