•  Confident.
•  Healthy, both physically and mentally.
•  Resilient and willing to try new things.
•  Able to make informed choices, represent their ideas and take responsibility.
•  Rich in vocabulary and with the skills necessary to embrace learning to read.
•  Able to ask questions and are keen to seek answers.
•  Persistent and learn from their mistakes and successes.

•  Respectful towards other cultures and have an appreciation of diversity.
•  Experiencing the awe and wonder of the world, through the 7 areas of learning.
