At Lockyer's Middle School, our mission is to overcome every barrier and inspire high ambition in every student. Alongside our 3 core values of Ambition, Courage, and Respect, our character education helps students build strong moral foundations, flourish in later life, and make a positive impact on society.  By cultivating Performance, Moral, Civic, and Intellectual virtues, our students are equipped for the "tests of life"—not just a "life of tests"—allowing them to develop essential character traits simultaneously.

To help our students put these virtues into practice, we’ve designed the `Lockyer’s Graduate Pathway`. Starting in Year 5 and continuing through to Year 8, students are encouraged to take on up to 12 achievable milestones before they `graduate` into the next year. 

Each term, we also spotlight a specific character value to sit alongside our core school values.

Below, you can learn more about the character values we are focussing on and how we nurture Moral, Intellectual, Civic, and Performance virtues across our curriculum and community.
