Ethos and Values

At the Da Vinci Academy our ethos is underpinned by three statements which describe our approach to everything we do.

  • Inspiring Excellence
  • Shaping Futures
  • Empowering Our Community

We inspire our students to achieve excellence in all aspects of school life from achievement in subject areas to wearing their uniform with pride to treating each other with kindness and compassion. We understand the importance of the holistic development of our students so they are able to play an active role in modern society and can pursue their dreams when they leave school. We are committed to serving our community by providing the highest standard of education enabling students to achieve their lifelong career ambitions.

The Da Vinci Way

A fundamental part of daily life at school is our Da Vinci Way code of conduct which comprises of three areas – Ready, Respectful and Responsible.

Alongside our students, we have created a framework of statements for these key three areas so all students are clear how to meet the expectations on a daily life.

We are READY by being:
  • Proud in our uniform
  • Organised with our equipment
  • A good attender
  • Phone-free in school
  • On-time to school and lessons
We are RESPECTFUL by being:
  • Polite at all times
  • Attentive to instructions
  • Open to differences
  • Considerate to our school environment
  • Kind to each other
We are RESPONSIBLE by being:
  • Proud of our achievements
  • A student who meets expectations
  • In control of our actions
  • Resilient when facing difficulty
  • An honest citizen

 

Our students are at the heart of all that we do and we aim for our students to be #ProudtobeDVA.
