Vision and Values
During 2007, the staff developed a vision and core values for Roydvale School. Led by an independent facilitator, we took into account feedback provided by parents via a survey about many aspects of the school, thoughts collected from students, the new curriculum document and of course our own feelings and thoughts.
All ideas were developed taking our Mission Statement, 'Fostering a Future Generation' into account. The vision developed reflects characteristics of what our whole school community would hope a child who leaves Roydvale after six years education would be like.
OUR CHILDREN WILL BECOME:
- confident, active contributors
- motivated, independent learners
- skilful, knowledgeable thinkers
.... who have a spirit of generosity
The four core values chosen are what are considered important for a successful individual to thrive in the future. While other values that could be added, it was important to limit the values to a maximum of four key words that could be easily remembered by everyone, staff, children and parents at Roydvale and had real meaning as to what is held important at Roydvale.
AT ROYDVALE SCHOOL WE VALUE:
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Perseverance
- Learning
In essence what we have endeavoured to do is 'bottle' the great culture, standards and expectations that exist at Roydvale, so that we are able to clearly articulate the key points that we hold important at Roydvale and what parents will be able to expect as their children move through the school.
Some of our Year 5 and 6 students, along with our ICT lead teacher, Mr Justin Perriam, have made some podcasts about our school values and goals as part of their work at Christchurch National College of Design and Technology. Please note that we take no responsibilities for the content of links outside of the page and podcasts we created which are beyond our control.
