We are a school that actively promotes respect as a key part of our ethos. We aim to instil in all our school community the values of hard work, perseverance and care.To support this we teach the important life skills of:
Resilience – being absorbed, managing our distractions, noticing situations and perseverance
Resourcefulness – questioning, making links, imagining, reasoning and capitalising
Reflectiveness – planning, revising, using information and skills, knowing our preferred learning styles
Reciprocity – interdependence (knowing when to work together and when to work alone), Collaboration, empathy and listening and imitation
We also adhere to the following rules in school and regularly teach children what this looks like and feels like in practise:
We care for our school
We care for each other
We always to our best
St Helen Auckland Community Primary School has high expectations of everyone both academically and socially, we value and promote good role models and children are expected to have a strong voice within school helping us to make important decisions as well as holding a number of responsible jobs on a day to day basis.
Smiles are the norm, lessons are fun and interesting!
