During the year, through the learningengagementsintheclassroom,onfieldtrips,inthe co-curricular program and in ourinteractionswithoneanotherandthebroaderVIS community, our staff and studentscontinuallymodeled thesevalues. Thisreporthighlightsonlyasmallsampleoftheincrediblelearningthattookplacethisyear.Furthermore,oneofourkeyfocusareasfortheyearwasthebeliefthat“ourwordsandactionsas individuals define our community”. Oursense of community was enhanced this yearandclearlyevidentinthesuccessfulhostingofthe Senior Volleyball tournament, ourCommunity Celebration Party, the P&F FunFair, the VIS mural project, Secondary ActionWeek,One-WorldDay,PiiMaiCelebrationsandmany learning experiences that included arange of students from across the school
