SKIPS

Successful Kids In Primary Schools

MISSION STATEMENT

 

In our SKIPS Program, we will provide a stimulating and secure hands on learning environment that will encourage the development of skilled, flexible, responsible and creative young people.

 We believe that school should be a fun and exciting experience where every individual is engaged in meaningful learning and encouraged to strive for continual improvement with many opportunities to explore, wonder, question, create and play. 

We believe this will lead to the children becoming learners who can apply their skills and creativity to new and different situations beyond the classroom.

We have high expectations for every child. We are part of the learning community, working with parents, to support the children in their daily explorations by encouraging, facilitating experiences, caring and having fun. We believe that happy, stimulated, engaged children will thrive.
