 Our Beliefs

 At Rosalie Primary School we believe that:

• All children and young people are capable of learning.
• Students learn in different ways and their learning programs need to recognise this.
• The teacher is a critical factor in a child’s learning success.
• Teaching needs to foster students taking responsibility for their own learning and setting challenging yet realistic goals for improvement.
• Effective pedagogy is purposeful, challenging and connected to a student’s experience, stage of development and background.
• Learning programs need to acknowledge and build on where students are at with their  learning.  They need to be culturally and developmentally appropriate and have real-life application.
• Students should have the opportunity to observe and practise and teach other students the actual processes, products, skills and values, which are expected of them.
• The mental, physical health and well-being of students and teachers is a priority.
• Students need opportunities to engage in higher order thinking and reflection about learning.
• The core-shared values in practice are the important foundation for all learning and teaching.
• Learning happens best when student-teacher relationships are based on mutual trust and respect.
• Learning occurs where student, home and school have a common goal, interact positively and are mutually supportive.
