VALUES
At Kerang South Primary School we value:
RESPECT: We respect what and how we achieve, the relationships we have and the opportunity for these to evolve.
(The umbrella value that the following sit under)
LEARNING: We are open to learning and using feedback to improve.
GROWTH: We encourage each individual to grow and to be active decision makers in preparation for an evolving future.
RESPONSIBILITY: We are responsible for our own learning and behaviour, and its impact on others.
INCLUSIVENESS: We provide an inclusive environment where every learner has access to quality teaching.
COMMUNITY SPIRIT: We welcome all learners and the diversity that builds the vibrancy in our community.
The Respectful Relationships program (incorporating the You Can Do It! program) is an integral part of our culture. The foundations of Persistence, Confidence, Getting Along, Organisation and Resilience have been adopted and are promoted throughout the school. These 5 foundations are essential for achieving success. We are also a Better Buddies and eSmart school (Alannah & Madeline Foundation) and adhere to all government Child Safe standards.
Kerang South is committed to providing the highest quality education for all in an environment that cares for and nurtures our students, staff and families.
We demonstrate this commitment by encouraging students to:
· Reach their full academic, social and physical potential in a fair, positive and consistent environment.
· Develop a good understanding of all key-learning areas, particularly literacy and numeracy.
· Value learning and growth and show a commitment to improving their learning outcomes.
· Develop a sense of self-discipline and pride in their work and their play.
· Respect the rights of other students, staff and visitors.
· Provide equal opportunity and equity for all members of the school community.
· Develop qualities and life skills such as responsibility, communication, independence, inquiring minds, resilience, problem solving, team work and creativity.
· Prepare for their next stages of learning by building on their strengths and experiences.
