• respect for self and others and
• responsibility for their own decisions and actions
• pastoral Care for all members of the school community is of prime importance

• the individual needs and learning styles of each child is recognised and accommodated
• each staff member works cooperatively with compassion and sensitively as a part of a team, while striving for professionalism, excellence and personal growth
