We believe that children learn best when they are curious, motivated and actively involved in their learning. We encourage every child to take responsibility for their learning and make the most of every opportunity.

Engaging means being ready to learn, asking questions, sharing ideas and taking an active role in school life. Concentrating means giving our very best attention and effort, even when something is challenging.

We want our children to develop the independence, curiosity and self-discipline that will help them become successful lifelong learners.

We SHINE when we:

• Listen carefully and concentrate
• Participate enthusiastically in our learning
• Ask questions and show curiosity
• Take responsibility for our learning
• Give our best effort and take pride in our work
