Welcome from the Principal
Dear Nadeen Community,
I want to start by expressing my heartfelt thanks for the warm welcome you have extended to me and my family. Feeling like I am part of a community all working together to support our learners to ‘be the best they can be’ is truly my life’s purpose. As we continue to shape our vision for our second year in the new building, we have been deeply engaged in discussions about how to grow and evolve while staying true to the core essence, or DNA, of what Nadeen has always represented.
Shanee and I, in particular, ponder this together often. Creating a culture of belonging and happiness is something we both strongly endorse. It’s truly exciting to imagine where we might be in a few years, and your feedback and support are vital as we shape this journey. You will frequently hear me talk about family, belonging, togetherness, inclusion, enrichment, empathy, service, and celebrating our authentic selves. High Performance Learning (HPL) underpins our approach, but we do it in a uniquely ‘Nadeen Way.’
“I am dedicated to creating a learning environment that prioritises meaningful, inclusive opportunities and upholds high expectations for all. In my experience, nurturing strong connections between home and school is not only an amazing experience for all but cultivates a community that is truly focused on supporting each learner’s journey towards lifelong success – Global Citizens with the confidence to take on the world.”
You’ll hear your children talking about our Values, Attitudes, and Attributes (VAA) such as Empathy, Agility, and Hard Work. I often discuss empathy with my daughter in terms of kindness, and it’s remarkable to see the depth of understanding children have around these challenging concepts. The HPL VAA’s and ACP’s help guide and support us as we aim to equip our learners with the skills they need to navigate life’s challenges successfully, feel loved, and have fun along the way.
I am truly excited to get to know the community better and create amazing learning and enrichment opportunities for your children.
Warmest regards,
Mr. James Batts
Principal
