Our Challenge Statement

At Earlsfield, we believe that all children should be challenged to become masters of their learning.

We support children in becoming global citizens by preparing them to embrace challenges together in an environment that promotes resilience, creativity and critical thinking. This enables children to take risks to succeed. Challenge is the foundation of our success.

We have been a Unicef Rights Respecting School since December 2010, the principles of the “Rights Respecting Agenda” underpin everything we do at Earlsfield to promote responsibility and citizenship.
