Sharing the learning journey
MRIS Philosophy
At MRIS, we believe that everyone is capable of learning in a happy and safe environment, where they and their families are welcomed, encouraged, respected and included.
We provide a dynamic and supportive learning environment which is purposeful, challenging and connected to each child’s experience, stage of development and background.
We honour that children learn in different ways and we recognise that each child is unique, with individual strengths and abilities.
We acknowledge that families and educators are critical partners in a child’s character development and learning success.
We educate the “whole child” within these areas:
- Cognitive (reasoning/thinking)
- Communication
- Creativity
- Ecological
- Emotional (self)
- Physical
- Social (group)
- Spiritual (virtues/morals/values/worldview)
Our core values are the foundation for all learning, teaching and life: “Our children achieve their best”.
“Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education” – Martin Luther King Junior
