[Colin] Good morning Adrian, how are you?
[Adrian] Good.
It's really important to me as an educator that children feel very happy to come to school everyday. - Colin Simpson, Foundation Principal, Richmond High
That they see it as a significant part of their lives. We have very high expectations of ourselves as a school and the way that we're gonna work with those young people, but we also have very high expectations of their contribution to their day, to their work, the work they do with each other and the work that they do with their teachers.
But at the same time we're gonna make sure students are really well looked after through that process. And I think in that environment children from whatever background they come from can really prosper and develop, and that I think is the foundation of what I wanna achieve at this school.
My vision of the school, to sum it up, is this; high expectation, high care, very, very happy school, happy staff, happy students, working in very contemporary and modern ways.
