VISION, ETHOS & VALUES

Terra Nova School’s motto is Labor et Ludus which translates as Work and Play.

The school’s vision is to create a forward-thinking internationally-minded environment that allows everyone to grow, explore, thrive and question.

Underpinning the school’s vision are the Guiding Principles by which our community strives to live

​

• First and foremost, in every decision we make, students come first

• All members of our community are encouraged to have a Growth Mindset

• Success is not a given; it is down to hard work and effort – we thrive on challenge

• We each have a role to play in the world in which we live

• We respect the right to be an individual. Diversity is a strength

• We have an obligation to appreciate our education

• We have high expectations of each other

• Reflection allows us to continually move forward; standing still is not an option

​

The School is justifiably proud of its highly successful past but will also be dynamic and forward-looking. It will produce outstanding characters equipped for the challenges of their future education. Children at Terra Nova School will have a clear sense of where they are, where they would like to go, and how they are going to get there

​

At Terra Nova we hold our schools values highly. All of our students are;

• Kind

• Resilient 

• Confident 

• Disciplined 

• Open minded
