These are: Trustworthiness, Respect Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. This will be achieved by providing students with opportunities: -

• to learn in a safe and secure environment in which all feel valued;
• to participate in a decision making;
• to learn in an academically challenging environment; and,
• to develop meaningful Student/Teacher relationships.

The school also teaches different life skills that benefit students now and in the future. This values-based education runs throughout the school year, However, once a year the students celebrate with the fantastic CHARACTER COUNTS WEEK.
