What do we value?

We value the steps along the way.

Our school inspires active engagement in a breadth of experiences and encourages collaboration; our students understand that we learn best when we collaborate with others, and that achievement is most rewarding when it is shared.

We trust in the capacity of our young people to make meaningful contributions to the school - through collaboration with staff in learning and decision making, and through expansive leadership, co-curricular and social service opportunities at Mac.Rob.

The Mac.Rob Learner Model.

The Mac.Rob Learner Model serves to clearly articulate for our school community of students, parents and staff the fundamental features of effective learning. Through practising the strategies of five key learning principles, the Learner Model aims to develop a shared language and understanding of learning in our school community. It is designed to promote an understanding of the changes that take place in our brains when learning occurs, how our wellbeing impacts all stages of learning, and what the research tells us are the most effective ways to maximise our learning potential and outcomes.

We invite all members of our Mac.Rob community to explore the Learner Model website and consider the strategies outlined across the five key Learning Principles.

Inclusion statement.

"Diversity is a core strength of Mac.Rob. Together, we cultivate a compassionate, growth-oriented environment that celebrates all identities. We prioritise equity and safety for all people in our community, and this is reflected in our mindsets and behaviours."

Our school values.

Our school values are present in everything we do at Mac.Rob, and form a guiding principle for the way we approach teaching, learning, and engaging with the community. Our students are expected to carefully consider how they can demonstrate these values in their day-to-day activities, in their interactions with their teachers and peers, and within their wider community of family and friends.

Mac.Rob’s four school values are:

  • We are an inclusive community built on positive relationships, and a strong sense of belonging. We value diversity and appreciate those around us for their similarities and differences. We are internationally-minded and value our place in our local and global context.

  • We seek challenges in order to grow, and are resilient in the face of adversity. We are curious, collaborative and passionate about learning. We celebrate success and aspire to be our best selves in all aspects of life.

  • We are agents in our own learning, and we foster leadership through action. We take responsibility for ourselves and each other, and we contribute to school life and our broader communities.

  • We are interested in the lives and perspectives of others. We value every member of our school and wider communities. We treat people with respect, and offer support to those who need it.

Our aim is to develop curious, motivated, and critical thinkers who show compassion for others, pursue personal growth, demonstrate respect for their community, and explore disciplines and opportunities they are truly passionate about.

Motto: Potens Sui - Mastery of Self.

Mission: As an inclusive and globally-minded school, Mac.Rob’s mission is to provide an enriching environment for highly able students - one where there is belonging, collaboration, and continuous growth.

Vision: Honouring diversity, inspiring curiosity and creativity. Transforming lives.
