To brand the SASDA difference with the theme "Building Faith, Character, and Excellence," our strategic goals aim to ensure all groups within the school; students, families, staff, and the wider community, feel recognised and connected to the school's ethos.
Goals for Building Faith
Integrate Spiritual Growth Across Curriculum and Activities
Develop and implement a comprehensive spiritual curriculum that nurtures faith in every subject and extracurricular activity, ensuring students experience faith-building in academics, arts, and athletics.
Enhance Community Worship and Service Opportunities
Increase opportunities for students to participate in chapel services, prayer groups, mission trips, and community outreach programs to deepen their personal and collective faith.
Strengthen Family and Community Faith Engagement
Create regular events and communications that invite families and the community to participate in spiritual life, such as family worship nights, faith-based workshops, and intergenerational Bible studies.
Goals for Building Character
Develop a School-wide Code of Ethics Reflecting SDA Values
Define and consistently promote values such as integrity, respect, responsibility, and compassion through all school policies, student expectations, and staff modeling.
Implement Leadership and Mentorship Programs
Establish programs where older students mentor younger peers, and students are encouraged to take leadership roles that foster accountability, kindness, and perseverance.
Promote Inclusivity and Service-Based Learning
Encourage student involvement in service projects and diversity initiatives to develop empathy, cultural awareness, and social responsibility within the school community.
Goals for Building Excellence
Raise Academic Standards and Support Systems
Continuously improve curriculum quality, teaching methods, and provide academic support like tutoring and counseling to ensure all students reach their highest potential.
Expand Recognition and Celebration of Achievements
Develop systems for regularly highlighting student, faculty, and group accomplishments in academics, athletics, arts, and service both internally and in community media.
Invest in Professional Development and Facilities
Commit to ongoing staff training and upgrade school facilities and technology to provide an environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and high performance.
