Our school is a community,
small enough for people to know and be known, a place for living,
playing and working together, where conflicts have to be resolved with all the
untidiness of real life; a place where diversity is welcomed.
Our school is an arena for personal
growth,
a place for shaping a single vision, integrating study and experience,
for seeking understanding beyond information, and meaning beyond facts;
a safe place, with room to make mistakes, developing strengths and
acknowledging weaknesses, a place to lean more than can be gained from books
alone.
Our school is a place of commitment to
action,
where privilege brings responsibility; a place which faces outwards
towards the world, where talents are used for the common good and ideas are
embodied in service.
