Our School Values
Our school values are:
- Responsible
Being responsible means you do the things you are expected to do and accept the consequences of your actions
- Friendly
Being friendly is to behave in a kind and accepting way towards others. You may not be friends with everyone but you should always be friendly
- Safe
Being safe means you are free from danger or harm and do not cause danger or harm to other people or property
- Respectful
Being respectful is showing you care about other people’s feelings and property
We refer to the values across our school community and it is exciting to hear students talking about our values as part of their school experience.
PBS SCHOOL SHOP
As an incentive for demonstrating our school values and positive behaviour we have established the school shop. The students earn tickets and use these tickets to buy items in the shop.
Sample ticket : staff fill in for each student
