The Red Beach School vision was created in 2005. The school
spent six months consulting and discussing the key question:
'What is it that we want our school to stand for?'
The statement 'Red Beach School is a community
empowering lifelong learners to achieve and make a
difference', and the pictorial representation
above, form the school vision.
In the Red Beach graphic, a cluster of shells on the beach
depicts each and every learner in the school joining
together to form a community.
Lifelong learning is an important concept as the school
believes in teaching children the skillsof learning for
life. The Pohutukawa tree is our metaphor for achievement,
forever growing and achieving success as a learner.
In a similar way, the school emphasises the development of
honest, able citizens of the world. This is depicted in the
graphic by the 'heart' at the base of the tree, a visual
image of the school's values programme.
Everything the school community, its staff, and students
focus on ensures that all they do, now and in the future,
will make a difference to their own lives and the lives of
others. This is shown in the graphic as the footsteps on the
beach leading off into the horizon. |
