Ten years after founding the school, the OIS Board and Associates decided to review its vision, mission and values. The school had grown, the ethos had developed, and it was appropriate to begin a process of reflection and review.

Moreover, drawing together all stakeholders, the Board listened to the views of those who have a stake in OIS. This included parents, students, teachers, alumni and even the local community. The result was the new vision, mission and values guiding statements.

There is a clear connection with our history, but also a move towards greater environmental awareness, inclusivity and personal growth. What’s more, during this work, the website and visual identity of OIS were also reviewed and refreshed. Once again, community involvement was key to the success of the project.
