We believe in: Learners Who Flourish
We value:
•Thinking Big; curiosity, love of learning, creativity
•Stepping Up; honesty, self-regulation, perseverance
•Paying It Forward; gratitude, hope, social intelligence
•Being Kind; humility, forgiveness, fairness
We are:
A high performing, co-educational, Independent Public School that values diversity and supports full inclusion. We trust that:
Every student, every day, has the opportunity to feel a sense of belonging in our community through teamwork, loyalty and leadership, and is able to engage in learning that sparks their engagement, curiosity, joy and passion. Arts excellence; performing arts and visual arts
3. Volleyball excellence; developing physical and mental toughness
4. Being a leader in student wellbeing and in student leadership through our unique Applied Positive Psychology program; putting our values into practice
Into the future there are two more areas to develop as our student enrolment grows and our school matures into the next decade (2020-2030). We aspire to becoming a leader in:
1. STEAM teaching and learning (Science, Technologies, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics)
2. Global teaching and learning; introducing more languages, increasing extra-curricular and co-curricular programs that allow students to learn and have experiences on a global level
We will achieve this by:
•Implementing our school based, high quality teaching and learning framework that supports thinking and self-regulation.
•Systematically delivering the 7-12 Australian curriculum with fidelity
•Creating time for staff to have intentional collaboration about their pedagogy in order to improve every students learning engagement and opportunities.
•Developing every students and staff member's wellbeing through a lens of positive psychology. We welcome your interest in our school. https://thegapshs.eq.edu.au/OurSchool/Vision/PublishingImages/our-school/mission-and-values/GHS070%20We%20Value%20Poster_Green.jpg
