Vision

Our vision is to embrace and manage change, to uphold high standards and to educate for life within a safe and caring environment, which challenges learners to realize their full potential. We believe that our young people are prepared for a world where change and innovation are part of life. They are taught to be thinking citizens that play their part in our young democracy, and so are prepared to challenge things that are wrong. We encourage each student to be the best in academic, cultural and sporting activities. Our pastoral care sets us apart as a high school of note.

We believe that education is part of the lifelong process that is essential in the transformation and healing of our nation. Our students are encouraged to be well-rounded individuals and leaders that will enable our country to be a ‘winning nation’ – Keith Long, principal, Rhodes High School.
