We, in the Lord Elgin community, endeavour to create a challenging, supportive and co-operative environment where each child is encouraged to develop the skills, knowledge and values necessary to become independent and responsible decision-makers. Through mutual respect within the total school community, children will grow and learn in a positive atmosphere where staff, parents, and students together are enthusiastic about the teaching/learning process.

At Lord Elgin Public School, we value and respect:

• the similarities and differences of our community population
• a positive and nurturing environment
• diversified academic and co-curricular programs
• the enthusiasm and dedication of staff members
• personal and social growth
• individual academic initiative
• community concerns in caring and maintaining our environment
