Dunlop School faculty, staff, and graduate students worked diligently for two years on a remarkable process facilitated by our friends at Partnership Advantage to create these eight Cultural Principles. Our goal was to create, introduce, and foster a school culture that we both desire and deserve. This collaborative effort involved extensive discussions, workshops, and feedback sessions to ensure that the principles truly reflect our collective values and aspirations. By embracing these Cultural Principles, we aim to build an inclusive, supportive, and innovative environment that empowers everyone in our community to thrive and achieve their fullest potential.
