A values-based education fosters a supportive environment for teaching and learning by respecting ourselves, one another, and the environment while taking into account fundamental ethical principles that govern behaviour.
Our School Values provide a secure sense of self, respect for others, and serve as the foundation for rising academic standards, all of which assist the development of the whole child.
The 12 basic Values that serve as the cornerstone of our school's ethos are addressed directly in classrooms, assemblies, and throughout the whole curriculum.
