School Policies

Keins School is a multi-cultural Christ-centered community where moral integrity, academic excellence and the full potential of each student is nurtured for leadership and service. We promote

Respect

Respect involves valuing people and property so that neither is dishonoured. It requires a person to develop pro-social skills, to be tolerant and able to accept individual differences. An obligation is given to abhor harassment or prejudice in any form. There is a requirement to respect oneself and to adopt a lifestyle that promotes wellbeing. Students at The Keins School will be required to respect the right of teachers to teach and students to learn, within a caring and supportive environment.

Responsibility

Responsibility requires the acceptance of accountability and the developing of the skills associated with being a good team player as well as an effective leader. The concept embraces the virtues of being trustworthy, pro-active and of having the courage and initiative necessary to change those things which should be changed.

Integrity

Integrity encompasses propriety, honesty and a commitment to upholding that which is right. It includes the obligation to act fairly and to exercise proper governance. It requires The Keins School to be responsible in the management of all its assets. This means that the School will seek to be just in all its dealings.

Excellence

Excellence suggests a school of distinction which offers a high-value education. It hints at quality, commitment and worthy personality. A commitment to excellence also suggests a premium educational program, a first-rate educational environment and a system of management which is exemplary.

Sustainability

Sustainability in people means long-term endurance, and physical and emotional resilience. Sustainability of resources means responsible management, care of the environment and a system of operation that is designed to enhance the future wellbeing of the planet.
