Our Vision
Four Stones Gateway is a family of like-minded schools that collaborate to provide mutual support, share their good practice and learn from each other. Our students deserve the best and we do this most effectively by working together.
'Achieving Together’ has a number of connotations and reflects our ongoing practices at Four Stones Gateway.
- Our schools achieve together within the family of Four Stones Gateway by collaborating and learning from one another to produce the best educational experience for all our students
- Our school communities achieve together to create the ethos that supports our students to flourish both academically and socially
- Our staff teams achieve together by working collaboratively and cooperatively to positively impact student outcomes
- Our staff members and students know that success is largely an individual endeavour, and we commit to delivering our best to achieve together
Our Values
We have four core values which underpin our vision: Ambition, Commitment, Creativity and Integrity.
They act as drivers for our strategic and operational thinking and support our work to achieve excellence and opportunity for all.
WE ARE AMBITIOUS FOR OURSELVES AND OUR STUDENTS
We set high expectations and standards and strive to achieve excellence in all that we do. We are unashamedly ambitious for the students we serve. We want to provide access to opportunities within the classroom and beyond. We will continue to strive to be the best we can be.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO BEING THE BEST WE CAN BE
We consistently deliver on expectations and go the extra mile to get the job done, approaching everything with a “can do attitude”. We constantly look to improve ourselves and our service, cultivating our knowledge, skill, and attitudes to achieve excellence
KNOWLEDGE AND LITERACY MAKE CREATIVITY POSSIBLE
Our schools, where students develop the literacy skills on which all further learning depends, cultivate creativity byproviding a broad base of academic knowledge that students need to be properly creative. The knowledge we deliver is powerful in that it changes students’ perceptions, values and understanding. It encourages students to ask new questions and explore alternate explanations
INTEGRITY IS ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING
We treat others with respect and honesty. We take care of our environment and utilise knowledge and understanding wisely. We nurture our students so that they become young adults of principle and character who support each other in their quest for excellence.
