Why Ravenswood
Guiding Principles
Add to FavouritesThese provide the framework that guide our day-to–day behaviours as a school community. The Guiding Principles are collectively embraced, and consistently applied in all that we do as individuals, and as a school.
Excellence
We value excellence and the fulfilment of our potential within and beyond the classroom in study and play, individually and in teams, at school and in our community, and in local, national and international contexts. We recognise the pathway to personal excellence is pathed of grit.
Respect
We are fair minded in our thinking and actions and foster acceptance, tolerance and understanding. We acknowledge and celebrate diversity, because we respect ourselves, others and the world around us.
Optimism
We are purposeful and positive in our outlook on life, believing in and understanding our unique capabilities as individuals and as a country to make a difference to contribute to humanity, to craft our own destiny. Our motto is always towards better things.
Courage
We have courage of conviction, confidence to ask the hard questions, to be enquiring of the world, advocate and act independently with resilience
in the face of adversity.
Compassion
We are other person centered, giving of our time and energy, our emotions and friendships, and we foster caring thoughtful relationships.
