B E INSPIRED, BE RESPECTED, ACHIEVE

Welcome

Bibra Lake Primary School is an Independent Public School.

A strength of the school is the strength of the partnerships with our community.

Each student is treated as an individual and all are encouraged to reach their potential in a caring and

supportive environment. This only comes about when we all join together as a community with positive

aims and purpose in mind. Bibra Lake Primary School staff are an experienced, dedicated group who

are working effectively together to enhance the performance of students.

Staff members include those that maintain and clean the facility, manage reception and finance, sup-

port the educational program, implement the educational program and manager the school administra-

tors.

We hope that you, through your interest, personal involvement and cooperation, will come to feel very

much part of our school community. We look forward to working with you during the course of your as-

sociation with our school and encourage you to become actively involved in your child's education.

Our school core values of respect, resilience, responsibility and individuality are used daily throughout

the school community in the development our of programs and policies, These values form the moral

purpose of our school and the foundation for ensuring the best environment for all members of our

community. We teach these values through the acronym BIBRA—Be Inspired, Be Respectful,

Achieve.

We promote an environment where students learn to take responsibility for their actions, respect and

value diversity, and see themselves as global citizens who can contribute to a more peaceful, just and

sustainable word.

The members of the school board have considered and endorsed the school Business Plan 2018—

BE INSPIRED, BE RESPECTED, ACHIEVE

Vision To empower all students to develop all the necessary skills,

knowledge, attitudes and values enabling them to achieve

their potential, positivity contributing to the community, the

environment and ultimately, society, as both a citizen and a

leader. A significant contributor to the sense of community in

the school will be the capacity to involve our students in every

aspect of school life including leadership opportunities for all

students. In the future, every aspect of the school should be

better than it is now.

Core Values Respect Resilience Responsibility Individuality

Beliefs At Bibra Lake Primary School we believe that space to play is

a fundamental right of every child and is the basis of learning.

Creating a fun, nurturing environment promotes a child’s

sense of wonder, of curiosity and enquiry.

The planning, teaching, learning and assessment cycle

should be evidenced based.

Learning is best supported by consistent whole school

approaches.

We need to understand the importance of sustainability and

demonstrate sustainable actions and practices.

Each individual student’s unique attributes and potential

(academic, creative, social and physical), should be

recognised and nurtured.
