Strategy Statements WELLBEING STATEMENT

LEARNING STATEMENT

We aspire for every person in our community to be healthy in all dimensions. Our comprehensive approach is built on the knowledge that as individuals we learn and grow best when we are safe, healthy and connected. Supported by our School Values, our wellbeing framework aims to promote positive and productive relationships within an inclusive learning community. We believe a healthy community is a serving community, where we find joy in living a life beyond ourselves.

Learning at Prep is who we are and what we do. We follow six guiding principles to establish a rigorous framework for all teaching and learning. Through promoting wellbeing, supporting evidence-based practice, using data and assessments to inform, maintaining explicit teaching, encouraging integration, investigation, and collaboration, we ensure students are developing learner attributes that will inspire their learning journey.
