In Brisbane five days ago the QSuper Showcase Award for Excellence in the Senior Years was awarded to the Yeronga State High School.
It was reported that "Yeronga State High School is going 'From the bottom to the top', turning poor perceptions and one of the state's lowest OP rates into one of Queensland's best with every OP eligible student getting an OP one to 15. Welfare and cultural support is helping boost academic results with community partnerships, a range of pathways and a special hub for seniors in a school where three-quarters of the 600-strong student population hail from more than 55 nations".
Most significantly, the school's Principal, when interviewed on 612 ABC this week, stated that he attributed the school's amazing turnaround to the pursuit of three principles which underpin everything done within the school community.
They are:
- Quality;
- Harmony; and
- Sustainability
It occurred to me that these principles also summarise our philosophy at Brisbane Mediations.
- We always aim to provide a quality service, with the best possible outcomes for our clients.
- We, by our very existence, promote harmony - in relationships, families and business.
- We want outcomes for our clients which will be sustainable and stand the test of time.
Could these three principles - if applied by a majority of people in a range of settings and situations - make a significant positive difference to our society and our lifestyle? We think so and issue the challenge to all to give it a try. Please let us know how you go.
