I often ponder the question what makes a great school?\u00a0 I want to share with you a book I have read which is very inspiring.\u00a0\u00a0It is called \u201cCreating Innovators.\u00a0\u00a0The Making of Young People who will Change the World.\u201d\u00a0 As a school, this is a great question for us to ask; how can we create young people who can change the world?\u00a0 Wagner argues that social innovation is of \u00a0importance equal to technological innovation.\u00a0\u00a0Our future leaders will be ones who solve social problems creatively, collaboratively, and sustainably.\u00a0\u00a0Creative innovators will be required to societies biggest problems such as global climate change, world peace and pollution.<\/p>\n

The question becomes, how can we create students who will be future leaders who can change the world? What would our school look like, if we want to create future leaders and creative innovators?<\/p>\n

Dr Wagner, asks the question;\u00a0where does it start?\u00a0How can we inspire students with the desire to change the world, and how can we help them build the skills to make those changes happen?\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Wagner identifies in his books the central tenant in the development of every creative innovator: Passion.\u00a0\u00a0 He explains that the journey of innovative leadership begins with play, the activities young people find most fun, engaging, even whimsical, and then advances into an energizing and motivating passion, finally flowering as a deep and abiding purpose.\u00a0 The path to success lies in students creating their own personal journey of play to passion to purpose.<\/p>\n

We are a school which wishes to stretch beyond our academic program.\u00a0\u00a0We want to give our students opportunities to explore their passions beyond the classroom through our school camps, learning journeys and our CCA program. Currently, we are in the selection process for our prefects.\u00a0 Listening to our students explain how they will wish to become student leaders is incredibly inspiring.\u00a0 Their passion drives their purpose.\u00a0 I want to thank all the parents for supporting all of our programs.\u00a0 By allowing students to explore, try out new activities, take risks, and take part in new events and programs \u2013 our students will grow from play to passion to purpose.<\/p>\n

As always, we endevour to improve.\u00a0\u00a0We constantly evaluate, and review our progress in our quest to become a great school.\u00a0It is important that this process is a partnership with our parents.\u00a0 As always, we welcome your input and feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
