Vision & Values - Pinewood Primary School

Pinewood Philosophy

At Pinewood Primary School we endeavour to nurture and educate each individual student. Students will be active and responsible participants in their own learning through a broad range of experiences. We will provide a safe and supportive environment with high expectations, which empowers students to develop into successful 21^st Century Learners.

Core Values

The following core values reflect the beliefs we hold about how children learn, how our school will operate, and how we relate to one another.

RESPECT – having regard for self, others and property

SELF-CONFIDENCE – having faith and trust in yourself

INTEGRITY – being honest and fair

RESPONSIBILITY – being accountable for your actions and words

OPTIMISM – being hopeful and believing that good will come of things

In our community, these values are demonstrated when:

Students have the opportunity to learn in a positive, caring environment and are encouraged to become self-motivated, life-long learners.
Teaching and learning programs support students to develop a range of skills and strategies that enable them to be critical and creative thinkers.
Students are encouraged to work co-operatively and collaboratively with their peers and other members of the school community, and to be active and responsible citizens.
