Curriculum Framework

Dispositions

The dispositions are part of the lived curriculum. They are developed and strengthened through encouragement, modelling, and participating in a supportive and healthy environment.

Dispositions are expressed through thoughts and actions. They are what is important to or desirable in a person’s character, both young and old. Every decision relating to curriculum and every interaction that takes place in a school reflects the dispositions of the individuals involved and thus reflect the values of the institution. By possessing and demonstrating the dispositions in the list below, we promote social cohesion and build community.

WELCOMING by showing hospitality and openness

BELIEVING in oneself, in the value of learning and in what is possible

BEING PRESENT by practising curiosity and reflection

HAVING COURAGE to strive, make mistakes, offer forgiveness, and to think differently

BEING GRATEFUL by practising respect, patience, and generosity
