A Noble Selective School


We take pride in being a holistic school with a difference. Our selective enrolment process goes beyond just academic achievements; we prioritise students and families who align with our core values of Responsibility, Accountability, Discipline, and Integrity. By carefully selecting individuals who are true seekers of personal and academic growth, possess a thirst for wisdom, and are committed to developing upright moral conduct, we create a harmonious and supportive community of learners who excel in wisdom, morality, and discipline.

Our Unique Selection Criteria

Unlike typical selective schools that allocate places solely based on past academic achievements, we seek students and families who share our commitment to personal and academic growth. Our selection process prioritises those who are dedicated to embracing wisdom, upholding moral values, and demonstrating discipline in their pursuit of excellence.

Qualities of a Successful Person

Experience shows us that the students who succeed at Pal have adults at home who support them to develop the 4 key attributes of Responsibility, Accountability, Discipline & Integrity.  These attributes can be cultivated in relation to schoolwork, and also in many other aspects of family life. Household chores, hobbies, extracurricular activities, family gatherings and day-to-day family expectations ALL provide opportunities to cultivate these important qualities.  

Responsibility

  • Students are responsible for:

    • their behaviour and moral character,
    • setting expectations, learning and achieving,
    • maintaining uniform and equipment,
    • making the most of opportunities and being actively engaged,
    • managing technology and
    • serving and supporting the family at home.
  • Parents and families are responsible for:

    • building moral character, 
    • setting high expectations,
    • ensuring attendance,
    • engaging with school events/culture,

    • offering their skills and talents to help the school community.


  • Teachers and staff are responsible for:

    • providing a safe learning environment,
    • delivering engaging learning experiences,
