Statement of Values

People are our most important resource, and we will look after them well.

​

We train ‘people’, not ‘fencers’, and recognise the importance of the wider context.

​

Competitive sport is not always equitable, but no member should feel like they do not get good value. All of our fencers are important.

​

We value longer term development more than short term success.

​

Excellence is important in everything that we do.

​

We recognise that running ongoing quality programs is expensive.

​

We value a sense of community, and our identity within the wider community.

​

We value knowledge and learning.

​

We recognise that practices and lessons are as much a learning opportunity for coaches as for students.

​

We value appropriate behaviour and good citizenship, from fencers, parents, coaches and staff.
