School Values

Respect - Respect is when we treat others the way we would like to be treated and we consider other people's feelings.

Co-operation - Co-operation is when we share, care and get along with each other. We do as we are asked straight away and allow others to work without interruption.

Caring - Caring is when we lookout for others who need support by helping, comforting or talking to them.

Honesty - Honesty is when we tell the truth at all times. We avoid lying, cheating or stealing.

Personal Best - Personal Best is when we try our best in all our work and in everything we do. We develop a love of learning and try our best to achieve success.

Responsibility - Responsibility is when we take care of our belongings and those of others. We accept the consequences for any poor choices and we are proud of ourselves for making good choices.
 
The Walker Learning Approach 
 
The school is undergoing a transformation in its learning style by implementing the innovative Walking Learning Approach in Years Prep to 2 which is proving to be most successful. Walker Learning is based on years of research to personalise student learning and is a total approach to teaching and learning which combines the need for children to be active participants in their learning through hands- on creative exploration and investigation, which sits alongside formal instruction. We are one of the only Sate Government schools on the Peninsula implementing this approach fully.
