That all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow mentally, emotionally and socially. That school would be a caring and safe place where students can meet their full potential. That children and young people are entitled to additional rights laid out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which recognise that young people have special needs to help them survive and develop their full potential. All children have the right to special protection because of their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)
To develop responsible and engaged learners through the utilisation of our distinct learning tools (known as “Study Technology”). To provide a curriculum that is rich and relevant and allows all students to succeed. To foster tolerance, respect and acceptance of others and to build each students’ resilience and self-esteem.
Raising the cultural, aesthetic, physical, social and survival levels of the students to enable them to flourish and prosper as effective members of society.
Building an Independent School community that provides best practice education, celebrating every individual child’s strength and interest. We encourage our parents to participate in their child’s education, participating in school excursions and the like.
Everything that we do is centred around our vision, striving for and achieving more than expected. Our values support and shape this in our daily teaching:
Our goal is for students to question without fear. Understanding that the learning process includes being bold, being brave and being willing to take risks and be wrong to then be right. Our emphasis is on the learning process rather than getting an answer correct.
We support and encourage our students, staff, and the wider community to be determined in setting and achieving goals. We empower our community to discover new ways of thinking and being in our world.
We encourage our students to work towards a rewards-based disciplinary system that focuses the student’s attention on their achievements and ‘personal best’ rather than a punishment-based system, focusing the student's attention on punishment instilling a sense of anxiety.
We value the ability of our students to build respectful, honest, and sustainable relationships with others with our society to build a strong social system, which in turn, supports the community’s wellbeing. In doing so we acknowledge and respect our shared cultures, religions and histories.
Mooroolbark acknowledges each individual student as their own person, meaning we do not employ a one-size-fits-all approach. We provide opportunities, knowledge and resources that assist each individual to grow and reach their full potential. We provide an honest, trustworthy, and supportive enrolment to ensure all our students feel safe and individually cared for.
Mooroolbark is a contemporary, forward-thinking school. This means that we embrace new approaches and best practise to ensure we are providing the highest quality of education possible. We value innovation and work towards being the role models in school education. We encourage our students to assume the attitude of a lifelong learner, always improving, always growing, and always looking to achieve the impossible.
