Mission and values

It is the policy of this school to endeavour to:

• Provide a social world in which the children develop social relations and ethical standards.
• Build the children foundations of knowledge on which all learning is based.
• Foster in children quiet pride in achievement, responsibility, self discipline, tolerance and respect for democratic principles.
• Develop the children’s self assurance by showing them not only what they ought to learn, but also how to learn effectively.
• Provide an orderly place where serious learning takes place, not induced by fear of repressive measures, but dependent on encouragement and sense of involvement.
• Help the children to arrange, within themselves, the motivation to pursue their own development in the direction encouraged by the school.
• Monitor, evaluate, correct and record the development of each individual and have available the results of such assessment.
• Realise special needs of individuals and endeavour to cater for these needs.
• Encourage neat standards of dress, courtesy and behaviour.
• Encourage community involvement by all interested people.
• Maintain open and honest communications between school and community.
• Support community organisations, and in return, encourage support from them.
• Provide a safe, clean and attractive environment for staff and children.
