Our Vision

 

Howick College is committed to delivering a knowledge-rich, academically focused curriculum that supports every student to become the best version of themselves. We offer a wide range of academic and co-curricular opportunities, underpinned by a caring and inclusive environment where individual strengths are recognised and nurtured.

​

Our vision, inspiring a community of passionate learners, reflects our belief in the power of education to shape confident, curious, and capable young people. When students are inspired, they lead with purpose, learn with passion, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

​

Exceptional teaching, strong student wellbeing, and a future-focused mindset are at the heart of all we do. At Howick College, we equip students with the knowledge, skills and values they need to thrive — now and in the ever-changing world beyond school.

Our Values

​​

​Guided by our four core values, Courtesy, Commitment, Curiosity and Courage, Howick College is a school where character matters. These values are woven into the fabric of our culture, shaping how students learn, lead, and contribute within and beyond the classroom.

​

Courtesy - We will be kind and respectful

We promote an environment of courtesy and care. Positive relationships between students, staff, and the wider community are built on empathy, kindness, and inclusion. These connections foster a strong sense of belonging, where every student feels valued and respected.

 

Commitment - We will never give up
Through consistent effort and personal responsibility, students are supported to strive for excellence and follow through on their goals. Commitment is reflected in academic achievement, sporting performance, artistic pursuit, and service
to others.

 

Curiosity - We will strive to understand
A spirit of inquiry runs through our learning programmes. Curiosity is nurtured through critical thinking, creativity, and the freedom to explore ideas – both in the classroom and across our co-curricular landscape.

 

Courage - We will challenge ourselves
Students are supported to take on new challenges, try new things, and persevere through difficulty. Courage is seen in leadership, performance, service, and in the willingness to grow and improve.
