PRINCIPAL'S Vision 2023/2024 - Mrs. Kali McMorris
As Principal of Convent of Mercy Academy ‘Alpha’, my mission is to preserve the Mercy Charism and Roman Catholic ethos, in which we are grounded; and continue graduates who will contribute to the upliftment of our global community.
This can only be achieved if our school continues to be a place of compassion and care. We are a family in which:
- each member is valued and takes an invested interest in others.
- big sisters socialize and care for little sisters because they want to.
- teachers, parents, alumnae, and students are welcomed and welcome friends, family, and strangers.
I will work for a school, positioned as a leader in market driven curriculum adaptations where students receive the best quality of relevant instruction.
We will need staff, partners in Ministry, who are determined to see every single one of their students develop socially and academically.
We must retain and engage teachers who are driven to apply the best possible learning and teaching practices off the back of quality professional development.
- Teachers who inspire students to achieve their full potential find every opportunity to share best practice with their peers.
- Teachers empowered to know that what they are doing in their own classrooms is a part of the bigger picture of effective school wide practice.
- Teachers that make data driven choices to direct their practices and know that every day is a new opportunity for them to learn in the same way their students do.
Our organizational framework must become so resilient that it can withstand market and social conditions to provide quality instruction in a well-equipped, safe, and nurturing environment for all stakeholders.
We need:
- classrooms, staffrooms, and offices conducive to learning.
- spaces for collaboration.
- need to share good news stories that inspire each other to strive for even greater outcomes.
- parents actively working alongside teachers to achieve shared goals.
I believe unreservedly that our students, if motivated, can become more independent learners and achieve their dreams. I will unreservedly motivate our students to become lifelong learners who purposefully achieve their dreams. To do this, students:
- are empowered to own their learning.
- are excited about using technology to support their learning and development.
- appreciate that the school values them as individuals and will provide opportunities for them to do what they love and are talented at.
Our school must remain a place of joy and provide an oasis for those needing respite, refreshment, and care. The sounds of laughter fill the grounds and every day spent here is an opportunity for everyone to achieve fulfillment.
