At Bellaire Primary School we Aim High to provide a secure, collaborative and challenging environment that supports all students in maximising their achievements by being active participants in driving their learning in preparation for life long success as proactive, global citizens.
AT OUR SCHOOL WE VALUE:
happy and confident people who display compassion, perseverance and resilience, developing a local and global view of the world where people have an understanding of and empathy for other cultures, effective communication and reflection when engaging with a range of audiences, initiative in taking action to make a positive difference to self and others, interpersonal skills that support us in working collaboratively in a positive way, critical and creative thinking, safe and respectful behaviours in online and offline environments. These values are displayed throughout the whole school by our Behaviours We Value trees. The trees are used to guide feedback for students, inclusive of student behaviour awards for modelling the behaviours we value.
