Our Vision: Free to be ourselves and find our place as we shape a hopeful future.
ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV is a unique co-educational independent day and boarding school, free-spirited with an egalitarian ethos at its core. Authenticity matters, and privilege has no place at our School. Our strength derives from our commitment to serve and harness our talents to build a fairer, more equitable and respectful future for all. Our learning and caring culture embraces difference and diversity of experience and character. At ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV, all voices shape our ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV and there is a place for everyone.
ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV is characterised by bright expectations and hope for all. We set the bar high, valuing the stretch of academic challenge and personal excellence for every student. We believe that all learners deserve choice – we are a place where our students’ voices, passions, talents and dreams are known, championed and nurtured.
Our students learn deeply, make connections across disciplines, and apply their knowledge and skills to unique and complex problems. Their learning is informed by data and a firm understanding of their strengths and needs as individuals. We care for the whole young person with a commitment to their wellbeing and development. As a proudly non-denominational school with a Christian heritage, we embrace the spiritual, moral and ethical dimensions of being human, focusing on what connects us in a pluralistic society.
Our staff are experts in their fields, dedicated to personal and professional development and improvement. They are committed to serving the broader educational ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV and honing their talents to empower others. As a school, we are a destination of excellence with a culture of collegiality where educators build career and character as they guide the learners and leaders of tomorrow.
The foundation of our School is our ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV – they are ‘us’, and we are ‘them’, and it is what makes us so special. We forge deep and enduring connections that define our past, present and future. We proudly share our stories, knowing open, clear and respectful communication nourishes our relationships.
At ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV, we are Stronger Together.
