Mission, Vision & Values
Like all schools, Kinross Wolaroi holds its sites in sacred trust across the generations; we strive to serve our students and their families in one or more generations. This privileged responsibility is inspired by Vision, driven by Mission and underpinned by Values.
Mission Statement
As a school of the Uniting Church in Australia, we exist to provide a challenging and holistic education that equips our students to live meaningful lives and make a positive contribution to society.
Vision
Our vision is to pursue educational excellence that is focused on the needs of our regional students in a rapidly changing world. We will achieve this by creating a dynamic community implementing innovative practices to develop independent and adaptable learners
Values
The School’s motto of “Knowledge Friendship Integrity” is central to all that we do. Underpinning our Christian beliefs as a Uniting Church School, five core values sustain the School community:
Courage
Through strength of character and determination, we have the courage to accept new challenges and explore new paths as we actively embrace and initiate change. We have the courage to stand up for what is right and to demonstrate personal leadership when challenged.
Respect
We demonstrate respect for others irrespective of difference and show consideration for ourselves and for one another. We strive to understand the needs and expectations of others and by our actions seek to meet them. We are a community that values and respects effort, achievement and a love of learning.
Inclusiveness
We recognise that the world is a rich and diverse place. With a collaborative spirit and a daily commitment to compassionate and considerate behaviour, we celebrate diversity in all its forms and commit to creating a school that is safe and welcoming for all.
Resilience
As a learning community, we acknowledge the challenges we will encounter as we strive to make a purposeful contribution to the world. Skills of self‐management and responsibility and a breadth of knowledge provide the confidence necessary to overcome adversity.
Commitment
We are committed to making a positive contribution to our school and to others. This requires a spirit of service and a willingness to accept challenges we may not otherwise consider and the persistence to see those challenges through. We take responsibility for our actions, we seek out ways to contribute and we keep our promises.
