What does our Learning Community value?

• Students are trusted to be partners and owners of their education.
• Engagement and enjoyment of school are valued just as much as academic success.
• The College’s curriculum and instruction is responsive to the students in its care.

What happens in home-group and Personal Growth classes?

• Your child will meet with their homeroom teacher every morning for independent reading and any administrative information. This person is the first point of contact for families and students with any concerns or questions.
• Students will undertake 150 minutes of Personal Growth per week, which includes:
• Health
