We arrived at our Mission through consultation with all staff and lots of parents and children when I first started at Western Heights, nearly five years ago.
We asked our "stakeholders" four key questions:
  1. What do you want our learners to learn?
  2. What do you want our learners to feel?
  3. What do you want our learners to experience?
  4. We want our learners to....?
The answers were remarkably similar within each question. The minimum common answer was 75%, and for one of the questions 95% had more or less the same answer. Those answers could be synthesised down to four words - Laughter, Love, Learning, Leadership.
We know that three is a perfect number for managing and being strategic so we combined Laughter and Love into just Love.
Thus Love to Learn to Lead was born.

It can be extended into
"We Love to Learn so we can Learn to Lead so we can Lead with Love".

​Our Mission is collectively arrived at and owned. It is beautiful, simple, and clear, and our children refer to it frequently.
