Educational Philosophy

At St Margaret's, students set out on a collaborative and dynamic journey of the imagination, intellect and spirit.

The two values which underpin this journey are:

1. the recognition of learning as a life-long process
2. the notion of personal best

Within a caring environment, students and staff form a co-operative partnership based upon mutual respect, fairness and honesty.

This partnership extends to parents and the wider community in an effort to enhance the development of the whole student, whose participation as a valued and responsible citizen is a priority.

Intellectual, cultural and social diversity are encouraged and celebrated as students create their own unique pathways.

Students are challenged as part of an integrated learning community that enriches each individual's experience and makes learning personal and meaningful.

Students engage in processes, which develop the confidence and adaptability necessary to embrace the complexities of an ever-changing world.

Students interact as part of a global community in which investigation, communication and shared environmental awareness are key components.

The educational philosophy of
St Margaret's is based on a commitment to excellence. Policies and programs are developed to enhance all facets of learning and continue to evolve in response to the needs of students.
