School Values: Respect and Responsibility

This term we have a whole school focus on understanding the meaning of our school values and building a sense of “Belonging in our school community. Each class has been exploring what it means to belong to their class, our school and the wider school community. Teachers have been explicitly teaching about our school values and anti-bullying and harassment strategies. You will hear more about this learning throughout the term. During the first few weeks teachers have been working closely with students to establish class expectations and to explore the language and actions students will use to develop a positive and supportive learning culture based on our values of Respect and Responsibility.

Growth Mindset

At West Beach Primary School, we are supporting students to have a Growth Mindset towards learning and their wellbeing.

Here are some questions parents/caregivers can ask children as Growth Mindset conversation starters:

• What did you do today that made you think hard?

• What challenge or problem have you worked on today?

• Can you think of something new you tried today? What was it?

•Was there anything that made you feel stuck today? Great! What other ways might there be to solve this?

• What would you like to become better at? How do you think you can do this?

• Can you think of something that you could have done better today? Great!

• Who can you ask feedback from to improve this?

Kind regards,

Tina.
