Principal's Welcome
Welcome
Our school started in September 2004 with 12 pupils. Our enrolment for September 2009 was 130 and we will be oversubscribed in September 2010 with 155 pupils. This is significant growth year on year in a climate of falling birth rates. Our achievements are testament to the belief and dedication of a small number of parents, community members and the continued professionalism of all our staff.
Our Vision is that:
- Children are educated together in a fully inclusive environment
- Children are respected and treated fairly
- Children achieve to their full potential
Our Charter for Relationships...
Emotions are integral to the process of learning and teaching and as such we will.........
- Develop the emotional intelligence of our children
- Promote good relations in the entire school community
- Ensure all who come in contact with us have positive experiences
Our Principles for Children
Our Principles are based on the UN Convention for the Rights of the Child please see www.unicef.org. We look forward to being a 'rights respecting school'.
Finally, in our school we all have the unique privilege of making a difference to the life chances of our children - this is our purpose, this is the context that we work from.
