Our People:
It starts with us! Together we are co-creating the foundation for lifelong learning.
We respect each other regardless of position, gender or background and promote a spirit of belonging and inclusion. For us this means encouraging our Co-workers to be part of our community, supporting each other, and leading by example to guide the children in our care.
Our Co-workers lead with our Values. It is a priority for every one of us, regardless of our position. Living our Values begins with being aware of our own behaviours and the consequences of our actions, big and small.
We provide opportunities for development both professionally and personally, promoting a culture for lifelong learning. Through this we see our Co-workers grow in their roles and positively contribute to our communities.
We evolve together and believe in our culture. Each Co-worker imprints on our path.
Recognising the uniqueness of each of us allows us to be Better Together!
