it's all about vision 

Vision and Purpose

Around five years ago we developed and launched our Vision, Values and Learning Principles.  

Our Vision is an expression of the functional purpose of our school. Why are we here? What specifically do we hope to accomplish?

Active and connected, growing for LIFE

The Value of Vision

Developing the Vision, Vision and statements about learning was not easy.  We invested heavily and consulted across all stakeholder groups.  We talked and debated, researched and refined our thinking.  We were constantly reminded of the enormous privilege and responsibility that is, the education and formation of young people.   So, was the effort worth it?  After all, don't most Mission and Vision statements just get framed and  decorate an empty wall?      

I am thrilled that our Vision and Values continue to shape and impact our community.  Our school is a dynamic centre for learning.  Whilst it's hard to envisage what our world might look like when our Foundation students graduate, it feels very right to be embracing change and bravely growing into the future as it emerges.

The establishment of a community owned Vision, Values and Learning Principles has ...

1. promoted commitment and investment.

Our Vision and Values are clear and actionable . When you identify things you want to see happen in your time together, everyone has the opportunity at the outset to buy into those things and then afterward to work together toward those things.

2. made decision-making more objective.

Our Vision, Values and Learning Principles provide both a pointer and a filter for decision making.

3. empowered all stakeholders as learners.  

Our Vision, Values and Learning principles have set expectations  and provided tangible, actionable ways for every individual within our community to use their God given gifts to serve.

I thank God for keeping us alive to the wonders of each day.  My commitment is that we will keep dreaming big for Jesus' sake.  And even on the days that challenge and temp, that we will practice deep gratitude for the blessings we have received.  All glory be to God.
