superar nuestras propias metas


Explanation:
SUPERAR NUESTRAS PROPIAS METAS es nuestro tema / lo que nos convoca / nuestro objetivo para los años 2006 y 2007....

Creo que es importante adaptarse al contexto general del párrafo. Y ya que se habla de "our theme" necesitamos sustantivizar o verbalizar el término al cual este "theme" hace referencia.

Suerte.

above and beyond
hacer más de lo necesario


Explanation:
"Hacer más de lo necesario es nuestro tema para (el período) 2006-2007".

Igual que Sandra, te sugiero mantener "nuestro tema". Da la impresión de que el autor está "machacando" sobre lo mismo que ha dicho muchas veces antes.

"Above and beyond" es, de por sí, una expresión redundante, que denota exageración. Si te lo ponen como "tema", es porque tienes que dedicarte a ESO, por exagerado que sea, EMHO ;))

above and beyond
More than is required. This somewhat redundant expression--above and beyond here both denote excess--often precedes the call of duty, which means exceeding what a particular job requires. Thus Putting in overtime without pay is above and beyond the call of duty. Also see over and above.
