At Tarnagulla Primary School, our values are at the heart of everything we do. They guide our learning, interactions, and the way we support one another as a school community. Our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) matrix is built around these values, ensuring a consistent and supportive environment where all learners can thrive.
✅ Be a Learner
We are curious, resilient, and always striving to improve. Being a learner means:
- Trying our best and embracing challenges.
- Listening, thinking, and asking questions.
- Setting goals and working towards them with persistence.
- Learning from our mistakes and celebrating progress.
✅ Be a Friend
We are kind, inclusive, and support one another. Being a friend means:
- Treating others with kindness and care.
- Helping and encouraging our peers.
- Including others and celebrating differences.
- Working together to create a positive and welcoming school.
✅ Be Safe
We take responsibility for our actions and choices to create a safe and supportive environment. Being safe means:
- Using equipment and spaces appropriately.
- Making safe choices in and out of the classroom.
- Looking out for ourselves and others.
- Speaking up and asking for help when needed.
✅ Be Respectful
We value and respect ourselves, others, and our school. Being respectful means:
- Using kind words and actions.
- Listening to and considering others’ perspectives.
- Taking care of our school environment.
- Following school expectations and acting with integrity.
These values guide us in creating a positive and inclusive school culture, where every learner is supported to achieve their best. Through our SWPBS approach, we explicitly teach and reinforce these values, helping our students develop the skills and mindset needed to succeed in learning and in life.
Together, we are learners, friends, safe, and respectful—building a strong and connected school community.
