Personal Development Vision and Intent
We are passionate about our students becoming healthy, caring, resilient individuals who have the knowledge, skills, understanding and mindset to be active participants in local, national and global communities. Personal Development at Park View will empower young people to become the best versions of themselves now and in the future. We will support them to flourish and thrive as individuals, community members and global citizens.
Our students will be:
- Prepared for the future by encouraging the development of characteristics for life such as a love of learning, resilience, integrity, team work, critical thinking and independence.
- Prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences they already face and for adult life in an ever changing world.
- Provided with information about keeping healthy and safe, emotionally and physically and how to assess risk.
- Encouraged to understand how all actions have consequences and how they can make informed choices to help themselves, others and the environment.
- Enabled to feel positive about who they are and to manage and enjoy fulfilled lives
- Encouraged to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, safe and healthy lives and to participate as informed active and responsible citizens.
In order to achieve this, we will create a supportive climate in which everyone’s voice matters and all are challenged to think, reason, debate, discuss and collaborate. Within this environment we develop opportunities for students to question and challenge, critically and evaluatively, in order to gain deep conceptual understanding of topics.
