A Word About

Our School Ethos

Mount Compass Area School is a Reception to Year 12 community oriented school where excellent teaching in a safe, motivating environment develops confident, resilient and socially responsible citizens.

OUR VISION

Our Vision for Mount Compass Area School students is that they will graduate, able to:

Make a difference by having the commitment and skills to contribute as an active, environmentally responsible citizen in their local and global communities
Seize opportunities by having the confidence and self-esteem to live and work creatively and flexibly and a willingness to participate in life-long learning
Work independently and with others by having the tolerance, self-motivation, organisation, and inter-personal and team skills to effectively undertake a range of tasks independently and as an effective group member
Live life to the full by having the sense of personal responsibility and skills to live and work with enthusiasm and resilience and by having a sense of direction and the ability to work persistently to achieve their goals
Connect by having the skills in information literacy, listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing to effectively communicate with others

In support of the successful achievement of our mission MCAS underpins its action with the strategy Building Learning Power.
