Our School motto:
'Faith with Fortitude'. The School motto was chosen in the foundation year of Hornsby Girls’ High School.
At our school, FAITH is seen as a personal quality – namely faith in yourself, in the teachers and in the school. More generally, the concept of faith in human nature, in spite of human weakness, is also an important part of our belief.
FORTITUDE is strength, especially strength of character, even in the midst of adversity when we need to find the resilience to face all life’s challenges.
Our motto identifies two values, which should be lifelong ambitions. These values are as relevant today as they were in the founding days of the school.
Our School Values:
In 2018 the SRC developed, in consultation with the senior executive, seven school values. These values help to guide the whole school in the understanding of Positive Education and the practical applications of Positive Education for each student.
Our school values are:
Personal Bests, Intellectual Curiosity, Social Responsibility, Kindness, Inclusivity, Resilience and Respect.
In SWL-being, each session is underpinned by these values in order to provide meaning and practical application of each within our school culture.
