Our Emmanuel Holcombe Vison and Values

​

We live out our vision through six core Christian values: 

Compassion • Courage • Forgiveness • Respect • Thankfulness • Truthfulness.

​

Our branching values are: 

Friendship  Joy  Love  Faith  Trust  Hope

​

Together, these values help our children to understand what it means to live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ.

 

These values are not simply words displayed around our school; they are qualities that we seek to develop in every member of our community.

 

Compassion: We notice when others need help and show kindness, care and understanding. We encourage our children to look beyond themselves and to consider the feelings and needs of others.

 

Courage: We encourage children to have the courage to try, to persevere when things are difficult, to stand up for what is right and to be themselves.

 

Forgiveness: We recognise that everyone makes mistakes. We teach children the importance of saying sorry, forgiving others and having the opportunity to learn and begin again.

 

Respect: We celebrate the uniqueness of every individual and teach children to treat themselves, one another and the world around them with dignity and respect.T

 

Thankfulness: We encourage children to recognise and appreciate the blessings in their lives, celebrating the gifts, opportunities and people around them.

 

Truthfulness: We value honesty and integrity. We encourage children to be truthful, trustworthy and brave enough to tell the truth, even when it may be difficult.
