Module 5 post 2 Mission vs Vision


The school that I’m currently working in mission statement is as follows ‘mission is to provide high quality educational services, developing the honesty, compassion and integrity of our students, and adding to the economic, cultural, social and sporting capital of our community’.

The school’s vision statement is as follows ‘Our vision is to create an inclusive learning community in which everyone values their education and benefits from opportunities provided by the school to achieve their potential’.

There is a clear difference between the schools mission and vision statement. The mission statement highlights why it exists and its core purpose. I find it memorable, inspiring and focused on the students and community.  

The vision is quantitative, future casting and audacious, as it is concerned with the future potential of both students and community. To find the mission and vision statement could be tricky for community members and time poor teachers, therefore I believe it needs to be more visible for staff, students and community members.
