Our Values
Preston High School
Our Purpose
To empower tomorrow’s leaders by fostering knowledge, skills and attributes which position young people to be powerful actors in determining their future.
Our Values
- Excellence: We are unashamedly aspirational. Excellence means that we strive to be better all the time; that we are deeply engaged in work within the disciplines we study or teach and that we find the connections between areas of knowledge and skill. Through effort we find joy and can confidently step into the unknown in order to learn or invent new things.
- Inclusion: Inclusion means that we embrace difference and that we each pursue areas of passion, interest or talent that are meaningful to us and that make our lives, and those of others, richer.
- Community: Community means that we inspire others through our commitment to humanity and the environment in which we live. We are outward facing to the community around us. We act locally and internationally to improve ourselves and our world.
Motto
- Lead: We all exhibit leadership through our demonstration of integrity, creativity, courage and empathy. It means to lead by example and show someone else the way, so that we can all engage in a positive and vibrant school community.
- Explore: We embrace and promote curiosity within and beyond the curriculum. We believe that learning is the outcome of an exciting leap into the unknown.
- Inspire: We seek out the next challenge and celebrate what makes us unique. We use our strengths to encourage and uplift others to make a difference in our community.
