Our Values
Everyday school life is built around our set of values.
We believe that to be a happy, healthy and active citizen it is imperative that as people of the world, children receive a strong moral compass, which will help them make positive decisions.
These values are the building blocks that run through everything that we do. They define us as a school and the hopes and dreams we hold for our children.

to follow the school rules , be polite and respect other people’s opinions by
listening and giving them a chance to express themselves.

developing empathy, sensitivity, generosity, kindness and hope.

- and to bounce back from stressful experiences and challenges. We expect our

healthy risks.
