THE TOOGOOLAWA SCHOOLS MISSION STATEMENT
|
|
|
We, as directors, teaching staff and auxiliary committee members of the Toogoolawa Schools Project, affirm that it is our intention to instigate reform in the education system of Australia, by our example in the various Toogoolawa Schools throughout this land, so that all school children whose behaviour at present excludes them from gaining a sound education, be given a 'second chance' through the application of Educare, that form of teaching which rests on the three foundation principles:
|
|
1. |
That the ideal outcome of education is for the student to have a good character; |
2. |
That the five universal Human Values of Love, Peace, Truth, Right Conduct and Non-violence are present in full degree in every individual person (like fire hidden within wood) and that good character or human excellence is witnessed to the extent that the person lives true to these Values; |
3. |
That the essential environment for nurturing the growth and expression of these life-affirming and confidence-enhancing Values in the students is one where the teachers, parents, volunteers and mentors strive consistently to become real-life examples of the Human Values in action, and where the Values are integrated into every aspect of the school curriculum. |
