We have developed these statements in collaboration with our staff, students and families. They are part of our School Success Plan.

Erindale Secondary School fosters character development and academic excellence through the growth of empathetic, knowledgeable, and inquiring young people who strive toward mutual understanding, respect, and global mindedness.
|
We are a community of learners: parents, students and staff working together to enrich the lives of all our students.
At our school we endeavour to create a learning community where wonder and imagination are honoured through intellectual pursuits. Learning as a community, we come together to deepen our understanding of our responsibility to ourselves, to others and to our world.
We will be a community of learners, parents, students and staff that work together to meet the diverse learning needs of all students.
We foster a love for life-long learning by providing opportunities for students to be active participants in and to take ownership for their learning. Students will work co-operatively and independently to develop the Board and school character attributes in order to enhance their committment to good citizenship.
