Great value is placed on the role of the parent and the unity of the school within a public education framework. The integrated school community is the result of care and the collaborative work of students, parents and staff. A developed "shared identity" highlights the common elements of the school. High standards of student conduct are supported by school-wide practises such as a positive behaviour and conduct policy, student clubs and services that foster participatory skills, a character education program, and monthly student award assemblies that celebrate both academic effort and citizenship. Our policies and practises reflect the rights of students to learn and of teachers to teach. We encourage our students to accept responsibility for their learning and conduct.

At Mount Pleasant School parents and staff have common aims. We want our students to know what is expected of them and we provide them every opportunity to do their best and succeed.  Supports include excellent home and school communication, structured learning environments, and a focus on academic excellence. Working together, we provide a valued learning community.

Undoubtedly, we have hope and optimism as our students arrive at our school eager to learn. Our students and parents bring their hopes and dreams for the future, and they will depend on us to provide them with an outstanding education.  There are many things that all of us (staff, parents and community) can do - must do - to make the future for our children. Together we will build their tomorrow, and we will ensure superb results from all students. This is our work. This is our promise.

Sincerely,

Miss. L. Barnstable

Principal
