St Roch's Parish Primary School 
Term 4 Value - Excellence
This term, our school is focusing on the value of Excellence: giving our best effort, having pride in what we do, and always looking for ways to grow.
Our SRC Leaders led classroom circles across the school to explore what excellence looks, sounds, and feels like. Students discussed how they can show excellence in their learning, friendships, and play.
Every class shared thoughtful examples of what Excellence means to them.
- Prep students said they can “help friends if they’re hurt” and “try something new.”
- Year 2 students spoke about “putting lots of effort in,” “listening carefully,” and “keeping our classroom clean.”
- Year 3 mentioned “encouraging others,” “using our time effectively,” and “asking for help when needed.”
- Year 5 highlighted “having a growth mindset,” “including people,” and “being a role model.”
It’s inspiring to see our students recognise that excellence isn’t just about achievement. It’s about kindness, effort and the way we treat others every day.
Each week our school follows a PBL Weekly Focus. This week, the focus of our PBL lessons will be teaching students to 'Represent Your Class with Pride' and next week the focus will be to 'Use a Growth Mindset
The weekly PBL focus aims to keep our PBL framework on the agenda across the school to ensure consistent practices from Prep - Year 6 are in place. It also keeps the excitement of Gotcha Tickets, Class Rewards and Whole School Rewards alive!
We encourage discussions with our students around the expected behaviour for the week and endeavour to 'catch' the students who are following the expected behaviours by giving them the Gotcha Tickets when an expected behaviour is displayed.
Every Child, Everybody, Everyday.
