Vision and Values
Values
We want every Burnside High School student to:
- be a culturally-inclusive, involved citizen; and a life-long learner who is self-managing flexible and resilient
- be able to develop to their full academic, creative, sporting potential; and to give service to others
- become a caring citizen who builds positive, supportive and respectful relationships in both the school and wider community
And we feel they can achieve these by living our BHS values:
Manaakitanga
be respectful – to everyone and the environment
Mana
have pride – in yourself, our school and community
be respectful – to everyone and the environment
Rangatiratanga
strive to excel – in learning and in life
Vision
Personal excellence and care for others. Our diversity is our strength and a source of pride. It means that we respect, understand and celebrate the things that make each of us unique. By nurturing wellbeing and relationships, we create real connections – and the result, inevitably, is personal excellence.
Mission
To provide a safe, positive inclusive learning environment where students attain the knowledge, skills and personal qualities to choose the right pathway in life.
