HSC Strategic Plan:Towards 20/20 Preliminary Draft of Strategic Directions for Review with Parents and Guardians
Draft Mission : Learnwith Joy. Live with Purpose. We see our core mission as developing joyful engaged students who are prepared to live with purpose. We know that the best learning happens when students are happy to come to school, encouraged and given opportunities to follow their passions, and can participate in deep learning experiences that truly challenge them. Joyful engaged students develop strong relationships with their peers and with the many caring adults who spark and support their learning both inside the classroom and beyond. Through their learning at HSC they are prepared to live with purpose – to understand and to make a difference in the world in their own unique, important and special ways.

Joyful and Engaged Learner The joyful learning process requires and builds on noncognitive skills as well as academic knowledge. Skills such as resilience, persistence, determination, and willingness to problem solve lay the foundation for joy in learning. Basically, when students are engaged learners, joy emanates from success in the learning process (Rantala & Maatta, 2012; Tough, 2012) .
