Principal's Message

Dear Students, Parents, Carers and Families

Welcome back everyone for Term 4. I hope you have all had a great break!

Our Maramba School Values 

While we emphasise the importance of our school values everyday with our students and community, each term we have a specific focus on one school value. In Term 4 this year our focus is on responsibility. 

When students are observed demonstrating this value that is above and beyond our general expectations of being responsible they receive a values sticker. This sticker goes into the student’s personal values record book. When they have filled all of the spaces for a school value they are presented with a values badge on assembly.

RESPONSIBILITY: 

We recognise our actions and make a positive difference. 

Our school values logo is representative of responsibility being constant and ongoing. 

We have an individual and collective responsibility for: 

• The environment
• Ourselves – choices and actions
• Others – family, friends and community

As a school, we want to encourage everyone to keep developing and growing, expanding our minds and our horizons. 

We can show our responsibility and commitment through: 

• being excellent role models to others;
• owning our choices and decisions;
• accepting that we all have an important role to play as part of a community;
• to speak out against inequality;
• being prepared and ready to learn;
• being life-long learners;
• supporting the learning of our peers and the wider community;
• taking care of belongings and school property;
• offering additional support to enable all students to reach their potential.

HUMAN LITERACY SCHOOL

As a vibrant school community, we have commenced Term 4 with much excitement and positivity.  All classrooms were buzzing with happy students as friends and teachers connected together this Monday on our return to school after two weeks of holidays. 

During this first week, as a school we have reset our understanding of what our school values - Respect, Relationships, Responsibility and Resilience look, sound and feel like. Class goals have been set by the students. School expectations have been revisited and discussed as have the roles and responsibility of many of our classroom and school leaders.  

Within classrooms SRC reps together with Chief and Daily Innovators have helped all students settle back into routines.  Out in the playground we have our peer mediators assisting students to ensure outside play continues to be happy, fair and safe. 

As a school we are set, ready and happy for a terrific final school term in 2023.

Take care and stay safe!

Kind regards,

Darren Wallace
