Dear Families

This year will bring many successes and challenges as usual. As we go about our day it is very important that we focus on building and maintaining respectful relationships between all members of the school community. Respecting each other enables us to develop trust and allows us to work collaboratively. 

This term in particular, our students will be focussing on the value of Respect - caring for ourselves, each other, and our environment and on the value Connection - building positive relationships and a sense of belonging.

Positive relationships are essential for learning and every learner must be given opportunities to succeed in an environment that is safe, supportive and inclusive.

Staff have a responsibility to model respectful behaviour, attitudes and communication as they work with students, each other and families, both in and out of the classroom. Working together to create a culture of respect ensures everyone can be assured of certainty and consistency in our interactions and relationships. 

We continue to welcome family engagement and genuinely consider families as integral members of our school community. Respectful interactions, effective communication and working in partnership, all require ongoing commitment from our families and positively influence learner wellbeing and success. 

Our school community is known to be inclusive, compassionate and respectful. Let's all recommit to these ways of being and celebrate the important role we each play in promoting a safe and supportive environment, one where our students lead bright lives and have positive futures.
