OUR VISION
‘Shining like stars in the universe.’ Philippians 2:15
Our number one aim for our Southdale family, is that we shine like stars in the universe in everything we do – we refer to this as the ‘Southdale Sparkle’. We like a challenge, never give up easily and have the highest expectations of ourselves and others. Our Christian values underpin the life of our school and we constantly show kindness and respect, so that everyone feels happy, safe and valued.
