I am Committed to
- The “Team” - enjoying the dynamics of a team working together to vision, plan and innovate, problem-solve, implement and reflect
- Students and Their Learning - focusing on improving student educational outcomes rather than on administration and discipline - ('Teaching to the North East' Russell Bishop 2019)

- Personal Professional Learning - participating with staff in their learning, sharing my thinking and learning, and promoting and sustaining professional discussions at all levels of the organisation.
- Organisational Culture - through an environment that is motivating, with some fundamental premises - Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose ('Drive' Daniel Pink 2010)
- Consultation - understanding that people “buy in” to what they create and their input establishes for them, a sense of purpose - a vital cog in the development of a positive organisational culture
- Asking -"do I have this right?” - questioning selves, learning, staying current, thinking forward and being prepared to try new things
- Collaboration - through the development of quality relationships with all members of the school community
- Wellbeing - promoting and responding to wellbeing including physical, social, emotional, academic and spiritual needs
- Flexible Space - a learning space that is agile and can be reconfigured to engage

- Digital Responsibility - integrating technology for learning, empowering positive footprints
- Critical Thinking and Problem Solving - using systems to solve problems and develop unique solutions through analysis, reflection and evaluation
