School Values
Our school philosophy underpins the core values in our everyday dealings with each other, and in the development of all programs and policies.
The values are intertwined with Play Is The Way (behaviour education program), reflected in all conversations, playground activities and learning. This way our values really make a difference in our learning environment and are the filter through which all behaviours are considered.
Our core values are:
- Creativity
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Resilience
- Persistence
