School Values

School Values and SEL

As you are aware, at Greenvale Primary School, we encourage and acknowledge expected behaviour, and discourage and follow up unexpected behaviour.

Our five school values (Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Honesty, and Learning) are taught, discussed, referred to, and addressed regularly during Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) explicit teaching time and during our morning circle time. We also interweave teaching of the school values through conversations and lessons in our everyday teaching.

The school value that we are focusing on during the months of August and September is Respect.

Staff at Greenvale Primary School discourage students from using unexpected and unkind language in and around our school community. We are taking this one step further to focus on Diversity and Inclusion (Anti-Racism).

Students will be reminded to use kind words, and staff will be issuing School Values Notices when they hear unkind and racist comments at school.

We appreciate your support in helping us to discourage this behaviour at our school and encourage you to have conversations with your child about diversity and inclusion. Having all parties on the same page keeps the message consistent for our students, that expected behaviour must be demonstrated while at school.
