At KIST, we believe that language is central to the development of a global mind for all members of the school community, allowing access to a greater range of experiences in the world. We believe that language plays a significant role in the development of community identity and inclusion, and within the school environment, students need to make choices about use of language that is mindful of the community in which they are part. We believe that in order to make appropriate choices about the ways in which we use language, individuals need to consider and reflect on the context, purpose and consequences of using this language. Our current language policy outlines these beliefs in detail and is available for viewing at the link below.
