The following values are taught, modelled and integrated into our curriculum as well as through our wider community engagements. They were decided upon after consultation with our community and children. The image above was designed and created by a group of year 6 leaders and their families.
MNS CORE VALUES
Respect
Celebrating diversity/difference/uniqueness is showing that you value yourself, others and the things around you. Respect is listening to others and respecting their choices.
Integrity
Holding yourself beliefs at your core is doing or saying the right thing even if it’s hard. It is being honest to yourself and others.
Responsibility
Buddy learning/peer support is being responsible for your own actions, learning and belongings. It’s making good choices and people will know that they can depend on you.
Determination
Showing perseverance is trying your best and not giving up when things get hard. It is being prepared to take risks and following through with what you set out to achieve.
Acceptance
Celebrating diversity/difference/uniqueness is accepting each other’s differences and giving everyone a fair go. Building relationships is the key to creating connected person-hood.
Teamwork
Cooperating/working together is working towards a common goal by playing your part.
Kindness
Being helpful, caring and considering other people.
