About Our School

Our Belief Statement

We believe that...

Every child can learn.
Every child and every family shall be treated fairly and deserves respect.
Every individual in the community has a responsibility for the education and well being of its members.
High expectations and high standards for all learners result in higher achievement.
All children deserve to come to school ready to learn every day.
The strength of diversity is an asset.
The strength of a community is its ability to advocate for all its children.
Well-prepared learners meet the challenges of a global, competitive market.
Children are most successful in school when families work as partners with the school community in the learning process.
