Hasti school believes that Each learner comes to school with strengths and challenges along with a set of interests, talents and aspirations. At the heart of the Hasti School is the Learner Profile translated into set of learning outcome .This unites us all with a common focus . We each have our own strengths and stand out without stopping others from shining .
We strive to develop mastery in the things we do and share what we know generously and with humility .
We do not make ourselves feel better by putting others down, criticizing their efforts or laughing at the outcomes of their work. We learn from people who are better than us rather than feel threatened by them .
Our Hasti school make efforts to understand the students better through learner profiles which is designed so that we see the learner in every child . Our school’s mission is to
*To attract students and develop them in to exceptional STUDENTS and to attract teachers from all backgrounds to serve students, inspire them to be just and ethical citizens; * , train them to be wise and principled leaders
Following are the behaviours that Hasti school expects to see, if our institutional values are being lived into? None of us is perfect, but this is what we aim to be
Diverse: We bring something to the table, that others do not, and are prepared to share it , and help others learn from it. We desire to learn from the experience and perspective of others to broaden our world view. We include others and recognize that isolation and loneliness are individually harmful and, like addiction, symptoms of a weak community We are citizens and active participants in the communities of our friendship groups, our house, our school, our home (wherever and whatever that might be) and our country.
Meritorious: Being good at something and allowing others to be good at something while remaining free of entitlement and arrogance. We recognise our privilege and understand how privilege shapes society and the world in ways that are unfair and often invisible; we mind our privilege. We recognise that others will not be good at the same things, just as we might not be good at everything.
Inspirational: Positively influential in a group and in the community, we share our enthusiasm, joy and curiosity with others. We inspire respect by being the role models that the community needs. We don’t undermine ourselves with behaviour that is obviously hypocritical, indiscipline or harmful to ourselves or others. We choose to act,
we serve and we find mentors who inspire us so that we keep growing.
Just & Ethical: We are able to articulate the dilemmas of life and act on a visible moral compass, even when no one is looking. We do the right things at the right time in the right place. We understand that our actions have consequences, whether we like them or not, and are able to accept these consequences without justification or blame. We recognize that the position we have in the community, whatever it is, carries responsibility and a moral imperative.
Citizens : We know that we are a part of something larger than ourselves; our family, our form, our house, our school, our city and our nation. We understand that we must contribute to each of these communities in order to derive benefit from them. We have rights as citizens as well as responsibilities to every other member of the community.
Their success is our success and when things are not going well it is something that we have a duty to help correct.
Trainable: We are learning oriented, curious and not so certain that we cannot see the perspective of others or have our minds changed by experience or evidence. We are not cynical or closed to new ideas and, as lifelong learners, have developed a growth mindset We know that we have more to learn and are determined to become better practitioners, better students and better people.
Wise: Having learned from our experiences, mistakes and failures, as well as those of others, we are not judgmental and we recognise that we are not yet complete. We are able to see the wood for the trees, understand that younger people don’t yet know what we, (but they will) and we listen more than we speak, choosing words that add value rather than take energy.
Principled: We are able to be upstanding, to support others who are in need and to call others out on their poor actions and choices with respect, whoever they are. As well as doing the right thing at the right time in the right place, we make sure that we act, rather than remaining passive; people choosing to do nothing has allowed some of the worst things in history to happen. We live our values and take responsibility for the work we do and part we play in school.
Leaders: We understand leadership as service, being able to see a need and to act on it to improve the lives of others and to further the mission of the school.
As leaders we are the role models that we need to be if we are to earn respect, build trust and influence others*. We see leadership as a responsibility from which we build social capital, not a position or title from which we exercise power and privilege.
Fraternal: We are able to give care and support to others in a way that is both honest and kind. We never put ourself ahead by stepping on others. We recognize the humanity in everyone and understand that kindness, love and empathy are the best building materials for relationships that support and last
We understand that the work we do and the part we play contributes to the learning and the growth of the community; we have a responsibility to do our work and play our part wholeheartedly.
If we could all work to help our students become Humans who exhibit these behaviours then we will have done our jobs as teachers and parents well. Of course, we have to be doing this ourselves first!
