Strategic Direction: Towards 2028 - Empowering Boys to Thrive
Educating boys in today’s uncertain and fast-moving world is both a privilege and a rewarding responsibility. Mosman Church of England Preparatory School has a rich history of educational excellence since 1904. The challenge is to develop boys with character, confidence, independence, a love of learning, and commitment to live a full and rounded life in their community and beyond themselves in society.
Mosman Prep’s ‘Strategic Direction: Towards 2028’ connects our history with a renewed vision to – “lead and guide our school community, with a Christian worldview, embracing the shared challenges and opportunities we face today in preparing young boys for their future.” The plan ensures our community has a clear direction. It explains our strategic focus and the priorities we have designed to help us achieve our shared vision.
Through our wide range of rich evidence-based learning experiences,
■ supported by specialist educators,
■ outstanding teacher to student ratio,
■ and a strong partnership with parents, we are committed to ensuring students are developing attributes that will inspire their learning journey and prepare them to embrace the future.
Early targeted and robust intervention in Preschool and Primary School lays the foundation for your son’s character, wellbeing, holistic development, and ultimately his success in the future. Boys require an education that is relevant and purposeful with clear learning intentions and appropriate scaffolding; opportunities for meaningful movement and hands-on manipulation; and freedom to express themselves in the Arts.
Our boys require solid foundational skills, knowledge and understanding, alongside future proofing strengths in areas such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and technology. They need to be equipped to be flexible, resourceful, and innovative as they prepare to embrace unknown challenges and the likelihood of multiple future careers.
An education built on a foundation of relationship, trust and respect, allows our boys to engage freely in learning, to make mistakes, to have a voice, to achieve mastery, and to develop their confidence, independence, and ultimately ownership of their ‘learning journey ’.
The School’s values are exemplified by compassion, courage, respect, integrity and excellence, and are inspired by God’s word, as revealed in the Bible. We seek to encourage and develop an understanding of Christian truths, and a commitment to be unified in love as a community.
The Mosman Prep Staff are excited to be working with the goals, initiatives, projects, and success measures, which have been informed by the strategic priorities.
We are dedicated to providing exceptional boys’ education during the critical foundational years. Each boy is encouraged and supported to be and to achieve his best, through individual attention, abundant opportunity and a deep community spirit inspired by our motto, Non Nobis Solum – Not for Ourselves Alone.
As Headmaster and Council Chair of this ‘leading community of learning’, we commend this strategic plan summary to you, acknowledging and thanking the staff, parents, School Council, and Old Boys for their valued contributions to the plan and future success of our school.
