Our motto is about having the courage to grow tall and strong as a whole person. It is about making the right decisions and taking personal responsibility for our actions. It is about having the courage to walk each day under the umbrella of our Mission, Vision and Values.
SCHOOL VISION AND VALUES
Our values provide the base for very clear and empowering expectations for everything we do in all areas of school life…. and hopefully, for life beyond David Street School. They are simple so that we can remember them, and we all learn to understand what they mean for each one of us.
Our Vision is to be A Community of Courageous Learners
