FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Our vision is to develop ‘Student Teachers of strength, optimism and justice, contributing to an equitable world for all’. Through our focus on positive psychology we strive to help our students discover their own strengths and how to harness these to find a greater sense of engagement, flow and meaning, so as to optimize their learning and their experiences both within and beyond the classroom. We encourage our Student Teachers to see strengths in each other, and teach them how to foster good relationships. We also work to help our students establish helpful thinking patterns and develop a positive self-concept. We seek to foster strength of character through cultivating resilience, the capacity to persevere in the face of challenge and developing tenacity in the pursuit of their goals.

We also recognize that preparing our students to take their place in a globalized society is essential; developing their critical literacy skills, their creativity, and ability to innovate and work collaboratively is an important element of this.

We are fortunate to have a talented, highly committed teaching and support staff here to ensure the learning environment of our students as best it can be.

Every year students join us from every part of the city. When you join us, we will invest time in you! We will give you all the support and encouragement you need to achieve the success you deserve and to create the future you want for yourself. We’ll treat you with respect, take your views seriously and encourage you to be creative, make new friends and contribute to the wider community. Of course, this will be a partnership and you will put just as much back into this College as you excel in your time here.

Happy Times and Good wishes
