Our Values

LEARNERS FIRST achieved by recognising students as the ultimate beneficiaries of our work; demonstrated when educators, planners, designers, builders, and school systems think first about the needs of students.

DIVERSITY, with the intent of fostering equity and inclusion, achieved by deliberately and authentically engaging all voices and perspectives; demonstrated when everybody’s ideas, suggestions, and recommendations are heard and valued.

INNOVATION achieved through the exploration of opportunities at the intersection of learning and place; demonstrated when the value of place in learning is recognised and our work strengthens learning for all through exceptional environments.

COLLABORATION, COLLEGIALITY, CONNECTION achieved through the sharing of ideas, resources, and values; demonstrated when our members operate seamlessly across market sectors and geographic boundaries.

RESPECT achieved through recognition and acceptance of ideas, thoughts, and perspectives that differ from your own; demonstrated when a culture exists where new ideas and perspectives are embraced and welcomed.

PLACE MATTERS achieved through alignment of learning and place; demonstrated when the value of place in learning is recognised and our work strengthens learning for all through better environments.

Our values have been adopted from our International Organisation Association for Learning Environments (A4LE).
