Our Vision

A port is about new endeavours, new destinations and new horizons. A place of enduring character, connection and exchange.

In the spirit of this place, our mission is to support our students to embrace the concepts of exploration, innovation and enterprise.

We encourage our students to view failure as a pathway to growth, knowing that outstanding learning means being brave enough to try, fail and try again.

Our goal is to develop the whole person, to know what it means to be caring, compassionate and self-aware.

To best equip every student for their journey through life.

OUR CORE

Our Core program is aligned to what matters most to us – the development of great people, able to build strong, positive relationships with others to improve learning. The program incorporates the teaching of respectful relationship-building, communication, collaboration and self awareness.

Core helps students understand themselves in order to better work with and understand others. Family conferences form part of the Core program and the curriculum is complemented by our Everyday Leaders program.

Core teachers are responsible for the academic and personal wellbeing of the students in their class, and are the first port of call for all students and families.
