Our Values

Hope Adventist School believes that every child is a child of God, unique and of immeasurable value. We recognise the importance of developing the whole person, fostering values that will shape their character now and for eternity. Our school values are motivated by the overarching value of love and are evident in acts of service. Students are taught the importance of serving others and are given opportunity to positively contribute to their home and community. Whether your child is an Adventist, or of another faith, the values taught within the Adventist education system will help them develop a caring nature with strong values.
