Transforming lives through learning
Our vision at Ridgeway High School is a simple one: to transform lives through learning. It is at the heart of all that we do.
Transforming lives through learning means:
- Equipping young people with the knowledge and skills required to take advantage of opportunities and experiences in later life
- Enhancing literacy skills so that students read, write and converse fluently and with precision and authority
- Celebrating the rich history of human achievement and instilling an appreciation of the value of lifelong learning
- Nurturing character values that strengthen students’ sense of self and responsibility to others
