We warmly welcome you to Baxter College
At Baxter College, our values are essential to creating a positive and productive learning environment. We strive to instill these values in our students through our everyday conduct, both in and out of the classroom.
- Brilliance: We believe that all students have the potential to be brilliant, and we strive to provide them with the opportunities and support they need to succeed.
- Accountability: We believe that students are responsible for their own learning, and we expect them to take ownership of their work and be accountable for their actions.
- EXcellence: We believe that students should strive for excellence in everything they do, and we encourage them to challenge themselves and never give up.
- Trust: We believe that trust is essential for a positive learning environment, and we trust our students to do their best and behave in a responsible manner.
- Engagement: We believe that students learn best when they are engaged in their learning, and we create a variety of opportunities for students to be actively involved in their education.
- Routine: We believe that routines help students feel organized and in control, and we encourage students to develop and follow routines..
These values are at the core of what makes a positive student, and we believe that they are essential for success in school and in life.
