About SIS

Who We Are

Stanley International School is a learning community committed to developing knowledgeable, confident, caring and internationally minded young people.

Our approach to education

1

Student-centred

Every child brings individual strengths, experiences, languages and perspectives. We provide the right combination of challenge, support and opportunity.

Our mission

Stanley International School develops knowledgeable, caring and open-minded lifelong learners through inquiry, practical experience and the purposeful use of technology. We nurture compassion, creativity, integrity and international-mindedness, empowering students to contribute responsibly to their communities and the wider world.

Our vision

Students who know where they come from, engage confidently with the wider world, and leave our classrooms able to do more with what they know.

Our values

The values that guide us

Our values shape how we learn, work together and contribute to the world around us.

  • Curiosity

    We ask questions, explore ideas and remain open to discovery.

  • Respect

    We value ourselves, others and the communities and environments we share.

  • Responsibility

    We take ownership of our choices, our learning and their impact.

  • Compassion

    We notice the needs of others and respond with empathy and care.

  • Creativity

    We imagine possibilities, make connections and develop original solutions.

  • Integrity

    We act honestly, fairly and consistently, even when no one is watching.

  • Collaboration

    We listen, contribute and work together toward shared goals.

  • International-Mindedness

    We value our own identity while understanding and respecting different perspectives.

These are not words on a wall. They are qualities students practise through learning, relationships, decisions and action.
