In an era of ever-increasing social, technological and cultural change schools will continue to transform themselves. For our students, their world will be one that is full of promise. Choice and possibility will exist on a scale unprecedented in human history. Globalisation will continue apace and, increasingly, more will be expected of our young people. Because many of them will be working in jobs yet exist, it will be deep level thinking, creativity and imagination that become fundamental skills. Added to that, their ability to make judgements and to use knowledge in new situations will position them for a workplace increasingly focussed on making the most of information rather than just knowing facts.
