Gratitude.

Our purpose is to build a learning community that challenges and supports young minds to develop as independent and lifelong learners, continually striving for excellence in contemporary teaching and learning.

At Alexandra Primary School, we strive to create safe, positive and engaging learning environments to provide our students every opportunity for success. We want our students to be the best they can be, to support them to be happy, well rounded, confident members of their community. Our strong commitment to student learning is supported by quality teaching practice, regular team planning and ongoing professional learning by our dedicated staff.

Our school values underpin our school and bare significant importance towards the way we represent ourselves and how all members of the school community should conduct themselves:

Respect – by treating ourselves and others fairly and with care.

Care – consideration and regard for self, others and the environment.

Integrity – in all of our actions being honest, fair and responsible

Achieve – in striving to achieve one’s personal best in all that they do.

Our school is committed to developing a school environment that:

· Maximises learning, personal growth and wellbeing for all students.

· Creates a stimulating and supportive environment for all teachers.

· Assists, informs and involves all parents.

· Is welcoming and engaging.

· Creates a positive school culture with a focus on relationships and establishes a learning community with diverse opportunities.

· Builds a safe and supportive school environment where students feel safe and supported with high teacher expectations and fair and respectful whole school behaviour management systems

· Expects positive, supportive and respected relationships that value diversity where teachers know their students,

· Encourage students to take responsibility and provide multiple opportunities for parents/carers to play an active part in the life of the school.

· Encourages student participation by providing all students with opportunities to contribute and provide feedback resulting in feeling valued and empowered.

Alexandra Primary School acknowledges the Taungurung People as the traditional custodians of the land on which our school is built. We pay our respects to the Elders, past and present of the Kulin Nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal people joining our learning community.
