Mission Statement

“Greenacre International School provides a stimulating and enriching education within a supportive, inclusive community, where each person matters and in which all students have the opportunity to thrive and fulfil their potential as a global citizen”. 

our key values

Growth

At Greenacre, we understand that personal growth is a fundamental cornerstone of developing our students and staff to be the very best version of themselves they can be.  By motivating and challenging our students to grow and do their very best we are building their personal qualities and equipping them for the future.

 

Respect 

We encourage a culture of respect at Greenacre through honouring the rights of each person as a unique individual, by recognising that each person has something to share and that we can each have a different viewpoint. We foster a sense of respect for ourselves and others.

 

Environmental

Through our teaching and learning, we foster a sense of environmental awareness. Through the exploration of the natural world and instilling a sense of care we are developing the awareness of the future custodians of the planet.

 

Empathy

Understanding others without judgement and with compassion is a cornerstone value at Greenacre. We encourage our students and staff to develop their empathetic skills so that they develop greater emotional intelligence, understand how to manage negativity and set a good example for others.
