Vision & Values

Values Based Ethos and Culture


At the heart of our success is our commitment to providing a safe, inclusive and rich learning environment where students feel valued and that they belong, founded on respectful relationships for all.

Learning at Waingels takes place in a climate of mutual RESPECT where diversity and difference are celebrated. Students strive for excellence in everything that they do and take PRIDE in their achievements, effort and conduct. We challenge our students to be independent and RESPONSIBLE learners; to try their best and take ownership of their learning and personal development.

We are proud of our students’ progress and effort and set high standards and expectations. We value KINDNESS and expect all members of our community to be kind, courteous and considerate. We all belong to a community and work
together as a team in a spirit of co-operation, collaboration and support.

Our values underpin our Waingels Ready expectations that we have for everyone within the Waingels community.

These expectations form the basis of everything we do, and everything we believe in as a school and as a community.
