OUR Identity
The articulation of the CHS Identity was introduced as part of the strategic plan, Thriving in Possibility. Although the plan is new, the ideas in it have guided the School since 1898. The identity reinforces elements that inspire our community, including the School values of courage, creativity, and citizenship.
The CHS Identity brings to life the ethos that guides the School in ways that resonate with our community. Beyond its role in this plan, the identity will increasingly be our touchstone in all decisions, actions, and communications.
We believe...
... in the power of girl-centred education, in meaningful relationships as the foundation for personal growth, and in a better future for all through the agency of women.
Every day...
... our students are motivated to strive for their best selves, embracing academic challenge and diverse experiences, guided by staff who know them and believe in them.
Because...
... given the right environment to discover and pursue their own paths, girls develop the confidence and capacity to thrive and positively influence the world around them.
We value...
Courage
Trusting yourself and taking action
Creativity
Finding new ways of seeing, learning, and being in the world
Citizenship
Building community within and beyond the School
