School Wide Learning Outcomes



Learning at The Sunshine International School is not restricted to the students; we are all part of a learning community and these outcomes should be built into all of our work – teaching, staff development, planning and all other activities.

    Act with integrity:

    • Persevere, with self conviction, confidence and courage as sources of motivation
    • Acquire wisdom to make ethical decisions
    • Possess creativity, curiosity, focus, passion, and a sense of vocation

Pursue physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being through these practices:
