Vision and values

At East Park Primary, our four core values—Respect, Grow, Believe, and Achieve—are the foundation of everything we do. They guide our actions, shape our community, and inspire every member of our school family to reach their fullest potential. 

RESPECT 

Respect is the cornerstone of our community. It means: 

• Valuing every voice: Every child, staff member, parent, and visitor feels heard, valued, and safe. 
• Treating others with kindness and empathy: We consider how our actions impact those around us, always striving to be considerate and understanding. 
• Upholding our shared expectations: We all commit to the policies and guidelines that ensure a positive and productive learning environment for everyone. 
• Demonstrating courtesy and good manners: These small actions build a strong, positive culture where everyone feels appreciated. 
• Embracing diversity: We celebrate differences in opinions, beliefs, and backgrounds, fostering a truly inclusive and tolerant community. 
• Caring for our environment: We take pride in our school buildings, resources, and the world around us, ensuring they are cared for and preserved. 

GROW 

Growing is our commitment to continuous progress. It means: 

• Being ambitious for ourselves and our school: We inspire each other to aim high and strive for excellence in every endeavour. 
• Embracing challenges with determination: We understand that effort and perseverance are key to unlocking our full potential and making East Park Primary the best it can be. 
• Always seeking to improve: We learn from every experience, constantly developing our skills, knowledge, and understanding. 

BELIEVE 

Belief ignites our potential and fuels our journey. It means: 

• Having unwavering faith in ourselves and others: We know that with determination and resilience, we can overcome obstacles and reach our goals.
