Sela's vision is
of a community of learners striving towards excellence, where children of all backgrounds and abilities are valued members of a safe, nurturing community, in which differences are appreciated, and families are active participants in school life.
It is in the educator's intentional teaching opportunities and opportunities to talk to children about the way that they understand that difference that we see children starting to value it as opposed to being afraid of it, and difference then becomes something that is sought after and valued within the
context of that community of learners.

member of our community of learners.
