‘Making a Difference’ – is more than just a tag line
‘Making a Difference’ appears as the school’s tagline – but this is far more than a tagline. We aim for our students to live this philosophy, breathe it, but most importantly, learn to act on it during their time at SIS and beyond. South Island School wants its members to take sustainable action to “Make A Difference” within its own community, the local community and chosen global communities to make an impact on the lives of others and their own.
“Making a Difference” (MaD) is more than just a tag line; it has become a powerful force for change which has been fully embraced by students, staff and parents and drives innovative and forward-looking practice. (Extract from CIS/WASC 5 year review report 2016)
