Here, you’ll collaborate with passionate colleagues to create groundbreaking learning experiences, supported by a culture that prioritises personal growth and professional development.

XP Trust
Our Design Principles focus on:
* Activism
* Leadership
* Equity
These design principles are the basis for all our work. We focus on enabling our students to create beautiful work that creates agency and has a positive impact on the world; we encourage leadership in our students by facilitating the ownership of their own learning; and we have an unabated insistence on equity to ensure that we remove any barriers that inhibit student growth and success.
Therefore, at XP we focus relentlessly on high quality work and character growth. As a result, our school culture is value driven. We expect our children, staff, and parents to be courageous, respectful, committed to craftsmanship and quality, compassionate, and to always show integrity.
We believe a person is judged by their character and the quality of work they produce. Our school focuses continuously on these two crucial areas of development. Our children express who they are by personalising their work and are given time to produce beautiful and meaningful work by following a process of multiple drafts and critique, working towards creating products which are indistinguishable from professionals. Every day, our children develop their habits of work and learning by working hard, getting smart, being kind, and reflecting on our character values of courage, respect, craftsmanship and quality, compassion, and integrity.
