The Positive Education model is based on the principles of PERMA: positive emotions, positive engagement, positive relationships, meaning and accomplishment.

We strive to enable our students and staff to recognise and develop their strengths and talents. Research shows that knowing and following ones strengths:

- Helps us to flourish
- Encourages insight and perspective in one’s life
- Generates options
- Promotes a sense of direction
- Develops confidence
- Generates a sense of visibility
- Encourages a sense of fulfilment
- Helps us to achieve our goals
- Builds resilience

We want our students to develop growth mind-sets where they realise that they can make changes and that while they cannot do something yet, with patience, perseverance and self-belief, they can grow and develop into the person they want to be.

We also want our students to develop resilience and realise that the road will not always be smooth. We want to encourage our students to take these obstacles in their stride and be able to bounce back from disappointment. This is an important life skill which will help develop the resilience needed in the future.
