Gib Gate Information

Gib Gate's unique culture of 'learning to learn' through adventure, belonging, challenge, doing, excellence and service, develops students who are curious, collaborative, creative, globally-minded and who know how to learn. Using an inquiry approach to learning, embedded within a culture of critical thinking, students are actively engaged and suitably challenged across the curriculum in areas of personal interest. Core literacy and numeracy skills - expertly taught - allow students to access rich literary and scientific texts and engage in higher-order mathematical thinking. The development of scientific literacy, carefully scaffolded from Preschool to Year 6, ensures students think critically about the world around them and develop a sense of local and global responsibility. Servant Leadership is encouraged at every level, with each Year 6 student given the responsibility for leading the School's Peer Support and Buddy Programme, as well as assuming individual roles of responsibility in service of the School. At Gib Gate, we are Learning to Learn through: adventure, belonging, challenge, doing, excellence and service. Mission Statement and Guiding Values
