Our Vision

Our vision is ‘The Whitney Way – The Way We Learn’.
‘The Whitney Way’ are our school values of honesty, care and respect. ‘The Way We Learn’ is ‘by being self-managing thinkers who are collaborative and connected.’ 
It is who we are as a school and learning community. It is what makes Whitney Street School a unique, safe and enjoyable place to learn and grow into amazing human beings who aim to make a positive difference to the world. 

All of our students try and follow the Whitney Way – The Way We Learn. They try to make the right choices in their learning, relationships with others and in their attitudes towards challenges and the environment. A really important part of following the Whitney Way is making mistakes. We try hard to learn from these and make better choices the next time we are faced with a similar situation.

Below, is The Way We Learn. As a school community, we explored the qualities and skills that we want our children to possess so that they can thrive in their ever-changing and exciting future.

Here is what some of our younger students say about The Whitney Way – The Way We Learn.
