I believe that all students come to us in a different place on their journey. Together, we will use literacy and thinking skills to continue moving our students further along in their journey. We believe that the classroom must be a safe environment, where students can build on their skills as readers, writers and speakers, but also should be a place to develop a student's sense of wellbeing. Students will be given the opportunity to grapple with ideas that will challenge them. We will guide them in their understanding of these ideas through the use of consistent and continuous good practice in literacy and thinking skills.
