Leuse & Missie / Motto & Mission
Our Vision
To provide progressive education with the educators, parents and the community to realise the learners full potential.
Our Mission
Our mission at Laerskool Orkney is to empower students to acquire, demonstrate, articulate and value knowledge and skills that will support them, as life-long learners, to participate in and contribute to the global world and practise the core values of the school: respect, tolerance & inclusion, and excellence.
Our goal as a school is to equip our young people with the skills and mind set to thrive and then take on the world.
We foster an enthusiastic, creative community of learners prepared to continue their intellectual, emotional, and physical development.
To educate all students to the highest levels of academic achievement, to enable them to reach and expand their potential, and to prepare them to become productive, responsible, ethical, creative and compassionate members of society.
We strive to consciously create an environment of respect and inclusion and to support ethnic, racial, religious and socio-economic diversity among all the constituencies of the school.
We strive to support this environment by building a more inclusive curriculum, addressing a range of learning styles, offering a wide array of diversity efforts and programs, and by participating in the wider community.
Our school empowers all students to embrace learning, achieve their personal best and build their emotional social and physical well-being.
We believe that education should take place in a fully inclusive environment with equal opportunities for all and that all children should learn to value religious and cultural differences.
Our school strives to be the centre of the local community with positive and effective links to the wider and global communities.
Our statement “DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE” reflects our understanding and beliefs.
We aim to ensure that the children at our school are provided with high-quality learning experiences based on a broad and balanced curriculum.
School Values
Laerskool Orkney prides itself on its commitment to a set of core values which comprise an integral component of the hidden and explicit curriculums.
Our learners are explicitly taught social skills each week which serve to build each child’s knowledge and understanding of the importance of school values.
These values are:
Respect
Honesty

An understanding of and commitment to school values is necessary for all students to contribute to the creating and sustaining a safe school profile.
Children from Laerskool Orkney are acknowledged and rewarded for their demonstration of school values through unit and school merit awards as well
