The Core Values of Public Education

 

The Department of Education and Training recognises the importance of the following core values to the community. These values represent the aspirations and beliefs of the Australian community as a whole, including its concern for equity, excellence and the promotion of a caring, civil and just society. They are common to a range of secular and religious world-views and are found in most cultures.

 

The core values are:

Values

Meaning

INTEGRITY Being consistently honest and trustworthy
EXCELLENCE Striving for the highest personal achievement in all aspects of schooling and individual and community action, work and life-long learning.
RESPECT Having regard for yourself and others, lawful and just authority and diversity within Australian society and accepting the right of others to hold different or opposing views.
RESPONSIBILITY Being accountable for your individual and community’s actions towards yourself, others and the environment.
COOPERATION Working together to achieve common goals, providing support to others and engaging in peaceful resolution of conflict.
PARTICIPATION Being a proactive and productive individual and group member, having pride in and contributing to the social and economic wealth of the community and the nation.
CARE Concern for the wellbeing of yourself and others, demonstrating empathy and acting with compassion.
FAIRNESS Being committed to the principles of social justice and opposing prejudice, dishonesty and injustice.
DEMOCRACY Accepting and promoting the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of being an Australian citizen.

 

School is, and should be, a safe and happy place to be. All children have the right to learn and no child has the right to stop others from learning. We encourage children to develop self-discipline by taking responsibility for their actions. Children are encouraged to show respect for others' feelings, religion and cultural backgrounds.

 

The school rules reflect the emphasis we place on caring for each other.

 

The following rules outline the high standards to behaviour expected in the classroom, in the playground, when on outings and when travelling to and from school.
