Our Mission
Greenfield Community School provides a high quality, challenging, international education, creates an enduring passion for learning and empowers each student to make a positive contribution to their local and global communities.

Our Philosophy

Where vision lives, children flourish.Learning at the heart of our community.

At Greenfield Community School we will educate generations of children who will develop and use their talents to create a sense of curiosity, tolerance, belonging, meaning and contribution within their communities. Such children will grow into adults who are bright and shining lights in their world.
We recognise the importance of laying solid foundations upon which to construct the educational future for our students. With the emphasis firmly upon learning, our school is a safe and secure educational environment where students are happy to explore and share their ideas. We encourage students to be curious and ask questions, knowing that this will develop their capacity to think creatively. We teach students awareness of different ways of thinking, helping them to understand the benefits of, for example, logical, divergent and creative thought; to understand that there is never only one answer to a question and that there are several versions of a “right” answer. We teach them how to learn, to understand how learning works best for them as an individual, to propagate positive learning habits and help them to move towards fulfilling their potential.

Our Objectives
Expand our student numbers and facility to create a KG through Grade 12 quality international education for all students in our community.
Deliver a challenging education to all students based on the three IB programmes (PYP, MYP and DP), recognizing the importance of the IB Learner Profile (creating inquirers, risk-takers, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, knowledgeable, balanced and reflective learners).
Provide vigorous leadership and support, within a caring school community, where all constituents are involved in creating our community of learners.
Instill an environment of excellence combined with a healthy and balanced curriculum, celebrating everyone’s talents and potential in all areas.
Empower and recognize each student and staff member’s unique contribution to and needs in school life.
Improve communication and relationships between all members of the school community, recognizing that clear communication is a key to success.
Create internationally minded global citizens of the future.
