Whittlesea Primary School's Whole School Expectations

What are the WPS Expectations?

The beginning of the school year presents a fantastic opportunity for all classroom teachers to set classroom and whole school expectations with their students. To start this week, teachers have introduced the WPS Expectations to set each student up for a successful year. Here is an overview of the Whittlesea Primary School Expectations:

Respect Your School

This schoolwide expectation focuses on how WPS students show respect towards people, places and materials in all areas of the school. Examples of this expectation are listening to and always following the Teacher's instructions, taking care of our spaces, resources, and school environment, walking calmly and quietly around our school, and playing safely in our yard and using equipment appropriately.

Do Your Best

This schoolwide expectation focuses on how our students show their best selves in all areas of the school. Examples of this expectation include having a positive attitude, a growth mindset, and giving everything a go. This also involves completing learning during lessons to the best of your ability, seeking help from Teachers or others when needed, and sitting in a position that allows you to contribute and learn.

Help Others Succeed

This schoolwide expectation focuses on how WPS students can have a positive impact on their fellow students, teachers, staff, and the broader school community. This expectation can look like students who respect other people's backgrounds, voices, opinions, and feelings, remembering 'my space, your space', and keep their hands and feet to themselves, being an upstander, not a bystander, and encouraging others to do the right thing, checking in and supporting classmates and 'be there' for them.
