OUR VISION, VALUES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IS IMPORTANT
Vision: Frimley School developing the Learners and Leaders of tomorrow
Explanation - We believe that it is important that our students develop the skills of being life long learners, that they can learn, unlearn and relearn as they go through life. We also consider it valuable for our students to be able to lead, both themselves and others. This may involve them leading those younger or their peers, whether it be in cultural, sporting, school service or academic activity. We want them to learn about leadership and develop their own style.
Mission:
Our children:
- Have skills for lifelong learning
- Know how to look after their wellbeing
- Know themselves and others
- Care for and protect our land
- Will be confident and make an impact
Explanation - Our community contributed through the consultation in terms 3 & 4, 2018 these ideas. They are unpacked below in more detail.
