We are living in an accelerating world of transformation in every area of life. Olive Public School believes that such differences call for new ways of learning and thinking if we are to thrive in the world during the eras to come. The directions our society is taking and our planet's future demands new minds able to explore creative alternatives for problems that cannot be anticipated.

We educate for understanding. We define understanding as the capacity (knowledge, skills, concepts, and facts) learned in the school context, that SHOULD be used in a new context in a place where the kids have not been forewarned that they should make use of that knowledge.

Hence Olive public school strongly believes and thrusts teachers to identify rich ideas, explore them in multiple ways and give students much opportunity to assess their learning, that there is a chance for education for understanding. The opportunity for education for understanding will not be seized unless we people think differently about what school can be like, what can be studied, how it can be taught, and how it can be learned. After all, the important goal of education is to help children use their intellects better and their intelligence for good.

'Healthy Safety and Security

Student’s Health

The health of each student is a priority to us. Not only as a concern for their general well-being but because the health of a child is an important factor in the learning process.

The Nursery and Primary Schools have an arrangement with the Bethesda Children's Hospital which is fully staffed with child specialist doctors and Nurses available during school hours to administer first aid and basic nursing care to any student injured or feeling unwell. The Hospital also undertakes height, weight, and basic visual acuity tests of each child on an annual basis. In addition to their routine nursing duties, the Hospital is actively involved in all aspects of school life, including school trips, sports days, and health education.

'In case of emergency

The First Aid Kit available in the school carries emergency medicines for use in case of minor illness. The school has an arrangement with Bethesda Hospital for the immediate treatment and/or admission of both students and staff in case of a medical emergency. The hospital is located five minutes away from the school and an ambulance is available at the Hospital premises at all times.

Student’s Security

We take the security of our school and students very seriously. As a result, we regularly review our security practices, both inside and outside the school grounds and building. Whether our students are in class, on a school trip, or on a sports day, we implement strict security measures to protect them at all times.

The security services are outsourced to the registered security group. The building and the perimeter wall are of the maximum height permitted by the local authorities to prevent unauthorized entry to any part of the school.

Regular supervisory visits from the security organization as well as regular local Police visits are made on a regular period. Is planned to conduct Regular fire drills inside the school building.

Security entrance passes

All parents and visitors must sign in to the entry register kept at the security office. There are no exceptions.

Visitor rules

All visitors are required to wait at the office and are met by the person responsible for the appointment, if the guards have previous information about an appointment, visitors are asked to proceed to the Reception area where they are picked up and escorted by the relevant staff. No one is allowed entry without an appointment and the guards only allow anyone in after checking with the concerned staff.

Entrance areas

Both gates remain locked throughout the day. One guard is posted at the main entrance of the main school building. One guard is posted at the Gate near the Nursery block. Regular daily and night patrols take place, both inside and outside the grounds.

Parking

To avoid suspicion parent vehicles parked outside the school shall avoid parking for any lengthy period of time (i.e. more than a few hours). Staff vehicles if parked inside the school grounds are also required to have the same parking pass. The parking passes are issued by the School Office in the main school building, upon completion of a form that identifies the car or vehicle registration number and personal contact details of the owner. Generally, we do not allow any vehicles inside the campus unless it is a school-authorized vehicle transporting children to the school.

Safety measures

• In case of an emergency, the following facilities and resources (outside the school) will be used:

• Bethesda Specialty Hospital (5 minutes drive from the school).

• Police Department.

• Fire Department.

• Random checks are conducted daily by representatives of the Security Organization and feedback is given to the Security Manager.

The facilities and resources inside the school are:

• Restricted entry into the school premises.

• ID cards for employees.

• Sign-in registers for staff and visitors.

• Entry passes.

• Alarms.

• Release of Nursery students to listed/ authorized caregivers.

• Fire extinguishers for each floor at strategic locations.

'Our Commitment to the Environment

We aim to develop the next generation to become responsible, influential, and inspiring leaders. One of the greatest challenges we are facing as a population is an environmental change. It is our aim to instill a sense of awareness in children today, from the youngest Nursery to the oldest Primary student, so that they can start to reduce their carbon footprint and help to protect the earth for tomorrow. We believe that awareness needs to be accompanied by the ability to take informed action, both locally and on global issues.

We have introduced a new initiative called "MOTHER EARTH" which will allow for a stronger and more sustainable commitment of students across the Secondary School to a genuine outreach program. The initiative will be led and planned by students of the school who will be interacting with NGOs that deal with environmental issues.

Conscious of our carbon footprint, we are committed to making the Olive Public School an environmentally sustainable or 'green' school, as far as we can. We aspire to get associated with NGOs and passionate environmentalists to run the Environment Club at school. The environment is about people, places, and spaces, not just the physical environment. We believe in the power of education in helping young people to shape their future environments in an informed and socially just manner.

Strategic Plan 2019 – 2025

The School's five-year Strategic Plan 2011– 2016 (SSP) is a distillation of work done in 2008 by the previous Board and working group. The aim of presenting the SSP using this straightforward framework is to enable the six key work areas, and their objectives and indicators, to be seen simultaneously. This structure allows a clear view of the linkages within a work area, as well as across work areas. It also shows how all the work areas carry equal priority and will require concerted focus by the Academic Board and the Leadership Team to continue the school’s development over the next five years.

‘Governance’ has been added as a new work area. This is a normal and important feature in strategic planning as it holds those implementing the plan accountable for transparent decision-making and actions, in this case to the Society. Our strategic planning includes effective objectives and indicators against which those doing the governing can be held accountable.
