We believe that through values education we can make a significant difference to the lives of our children.
We believe that values education:
| · | Develops character, leadership and the ability to think critically. |
| · | Provides a shared code for people working at our school – a code that is focused on care, concern and consideration for others. |
| · | Provides clear boundaries and expectations for behaviour. |
| · | Supports teachers in their efforts to recognise the special characteristics and talents of every student. |
| · | Helps children develop and internalise their own set of values. |
