Our Values
We believe that the holistic development of the whole child is crucially important. At CAPS we support our children to explore and discover their own set of values that will equip them to lead successful lives and contribute to the positive development of our global world.
Through our values based curriculum, we create a strong and supportive learning environment that not only enhances academic achievement, but develops students’ social and relational skills, intelligences and attitudes that will enable them to succeed at school and throughout their lives.
Staff model our key values throughout the school day. We teach the values explicitly and work in partnership with parents so that these are reinforced at home. Our school community is one of positivity and harmony encouraging respect and kindness in all we do.
