Vision and Values

Glen Waverley Secondary College is committed to creating and sustaining a LEARNING COMMUNITY where everyone continually learns and grows.

This involves: valuing diversity and learning to live together; embracing lifelong learning; creating personal futures.

valuing diversity and learning to live together

This is accomplished through:

developing positive, caring relationships in a safe environment
working collaboratively and co-operatively
each person being valued and respected
valuing our diversity, including our diverse cultural heritages and diverse ways of knowing and being
embracing our responsibilities as local, national and global citizens

embracing lifelong learning

This is accomplished through:

connecting with and making sense of the world
becoming adaptive, flexible, autonomous learners
pursuing excellence
being reflective and continually seeking to improve
exploring diverse ways of knowing, thinking and learning

creating personal futures

This is accomplished through:

developing resilience, self-confidence and a sense of personal efficacy and identity
embracing a healthy lifestyle and an optimistic and hopeful outlook
developing emotional intelligence
accepting responsibility for creating a preferred personal future, at the local, national and global level
developing effective communication skills

These three main areas are framed in order that they may be the focus of a process leading to:

the realisation of individual potential
the development of a moral and ethical foundation
the development of a sustainable futures perspective

Ultimately, the goal of our Visions and Values focus document is to generate an environment which will result in a sense of self-worth and personal growth for each learner.
