Our 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, titled
Limitless, is focussed on providing unlimited opportunities for students to learn. We acknowledge learning takes place in varied shapes and forms, and it is our job to equip our students with the transferrable skills they need to succeed.
We aspire to foster an environment where boundless potential is not just encouraged but celebrated. We believe in our young people and the future is theirs to create.
From the impacts of Al and technology to managing mental health and wellbeing, schools need to equip students to thrive in the rapidly changing world they will enter post-graduation.
The future we see is one of audacious learners and innovators elevating humanity. We want to empower students to play an active role in creating a better future for themselves, for others, and for the world.
Our Corinda values will guide us as we pursue this bold vision: fearless learning, co-agency, perseverance, and societal wellbeing.
Our Strategic Plan over the next four years will focus on three key priorities:
Fearless learning Our school environment instils a courageous, inquisitive mindset to unlock positive futures.
Thriving culture We are committed to the total fitness of our students and staff. Total fitness means a holistic approach to wellbeing for students, staff and the broader society.
Unified collectiveWe are an interconnected network of staff, parents, students, and community partnering to inspire audacious learning.
I am extremely proud to be part of an exceptional staff who strive to Exceed Your Expectations.
