OUR MORAL PURPOSE
At Glencoe Primary School we share a commitment to provide our students with a high quality education in an inclusive and respectful learning environment that promotes care and development of the whole child. We place students first and believe every student has the capacity to be a successful learner.
We strive to develop the skills and knowledge required to enable students to be their best and become positive contributors throughout their lives, in a changing society.
OUR BELIEFS
The health and wellbeing of students and staff is paramount.
Student focused learning is purposeful, relevant, engaging, challenging, enjoyable and differentiated.
Students and staff are both valued and supported, and productive and trusting relationships are nurtured.
High quality teaching is driven by evidence-based practices which caters for individual needs and encourages students to take risks and demonstrate responsibility for their own learning.
Celebrating student success supports positive growth of self-esteem, resilience, self-reflection, motivation to learn and the desire to improve.
High quality teaching and learning occurs when teachers have a shared belief, set high expectations for themselves and their students, collaborate, and consistent teaching practice is evident across the school.
OUR VALUES
BE RESPECTFUL
To be respectful includes respect for self, others, property and the environment. It involves treating others with acceptance, consideration, dignity and compassion.
BE RESPONSIBLE
To be responsible means accepting responsibility and being accountable for your choices, actions and the subsequent consequences of your decisions.
BE SAFE AND CARING
To be safe and caring is recognising that our actions need to be thoughtful, with consideration given to the degree of risk and impact on the safety of others. When working together we are mindful of treating other with care, both physically and emotionally.
BE YOUR BEST
To be your best is described as setting high standards and expectations for ourselves and striving to excel. We need to continually challenge ourselves and strive for improvement to sustain ongoing success and personal growth.
The four core values guide our School Community and are inherent on our school culture. They are also harmonious with the Department of Education values of Learning, Excellence, Equity and Care. Our four core values apply to staff, students, parents and the community.
