Our values: the Three Keys

At Galston High School, we are proud of our core values of respect, responsibility and personal best.

These values are taught, practised and celebrated across all aspects of school life.

We call these values our three keys: “K3YS”.

  • Encouraging everyone to learn

  • Modelling cooperation and positive behaviour

  • Treating yourself and others with dignity and acceptance
  • Communicating with courtesy
  • Valuing personal space
  • Caring for property belonging to yourself, others and the school

  • Considering others and their learning
  • Being prepared to learn
  • Being punctual
  • Modelling appropriate behaviour
  • Being safe for yourself and others
  • Being accountable for your actions
  • Taking pride in yourself, your uniform and your school

Personal Best

Personal best is the quality of seeking to achieve better than you have before. Personal best looks like:
