Our Values
Our Motto
Our motto, ‘In pursuit of excellence’ is what we practice every day. We practise this to the point of mastery. This is because we place a strong emphasis on hard work and know that there is no substitute for it. We firmly believe that hard work and not innate ability will help us reach our goals.
Our Values
Integrity - We are honest to our work, ourselves and others. We believe that there are no short cuts to success or any point in making excuses. We do the right thing because it is the right thing to do – not because we want a reward or are afraid of the sanction. We do the right thing even when others aren’t watching us as we exercise self-discipline. We pride ourselves on taking personal responsibility for our actions.
Excellence - We are a community who practise excellence at every point of the day. We have the highest expectations of ourselves and each other. We view learning to be a joyful activity and view feedback as a gift. We are proud of our identity, know that we are ambassadors of our community and strive to be better than yesterday. We believe we learn better when we learn together.
Service - We believe that to lead is to serve and service brings joy. We encourage and challenge each other to be kind and graceful in every interaction. This extends beyond our school as we build networks and grow with others. We give back to our community because we believe that education and knowledge is only of true value when it helps others.
Political Impartiality Statement
Prince Albert Community Trust is committed to maintaining a politically impartial environment that fosters open dialogue, critical thinking, and respect for diverse perspectives. As an educational institution, we recognise the importance of providing a space where students, staff, and members of the school community can engage in discussions on various topics, including those of a political nature.
Our commitment to impartiality ensures that our schools remain a neutral ground where individuals of differing political beliefs can coexist harmoniously, fostering an inclusive and respectful learning environment.
While we encourage active civic engagement and the exploration of political ideologies, Prince Albert Community Trust does not endorse or promote any specific political party, candidate, or ideology. Our schools remain neutral in matters of politics, and we encourage our community members to approach political discussions with open-mindedness, empathy, and a commitment to understanding different perspectives.
We are dedicated to providing an education that empowers students to think critically, make informed decisions, and engage responsibly in civic life. By maintaining political impartiality, we aim to create an environment that supports the development of well-rounded individuals who are prepared to contribute positively to society.
This commitment to political impartiality extends to all Trust and school-sponsored events, activities, and communications. We encourage our school communities to uphold these principles and engage in constructive dialogue that reflects the values of respect, tolerance, and open-mindedness.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in creating a learning environment that values diversity and promotes community cohesion.
