Cornerstone Values

The Cornerstone Values Curriculum defines values as principles or sets of principles which are consistent, universal and which inform and direct our actions and activities. They are a comparatively small number of moral virtues that have been held in common by different cultures and countries for countless generations.

These values enhance the well being of all; prevent harm to both individuals and society; are the essence of healthy relationships and build a sense of community.

All Cornerstone Values have qualities that benefit others as well as self. Such values reproduce themselves as they are practised. They are given as they are gained and gained as they are given. Their reciprocal character is an essential ingredient of open and positive interpersonal relationships.

The eight Cornerstone Values are an integral part of the culture of Rangeview Intermediate School. While parents are the first and most important teachers of values, the school has an important role to play.
