Values
Our values give us the ability to live what we have learned, and believe in what we do.
Ethical - we ask of ourselves and others that we walk our talk, practice transparency, safeguard our reputation, provide safe, child-friendly spaces, and to always keep in mind that how we do what we do, matters.
Transformational - engaging with us is guaranteed to totally and irrevocably change your life whether as a learner, a patron, a supplier or a friend.
Team - investing in building the team to carry the legacy 50 years from now is what we do: Encouraging trust, commitment, a sense of belonging, and eliminating any form of discrimination.
Passion and Perseverance - what we do is never just a job....and it shows.
Accountable and Sustainable - it is our opinion and expectation of others that it's not enough to just do your job - it's about accepting responsibility for the best result possible and being part of the solution not the problem should things go wrong.
