‘Our graduates will be mature and articulate global citizens. They will have been encouraged to maximise their academic potential and have been exposed to a wide variety of co-curricular activities. They will have developed into confident, caring and well balanced young adults. Our graduates will be able to thrive in a rapidly changing world through their collaborative skills, technological competence, enterprising spirit and capacity for innovation.’
This Aspiration was published in the ‘Future Directions 2009–2014’ strategic plan that was launched in August 2009, following an extensive school review. 'Future Directions' is available on the School’s website. |
