School Aims

Vision and Beliefs

The school is committed to creating a caring environment, which nurtures students towards a love of learning. The school seeks to achieve this through relevant, negotiated curriculum experiences designed to be delivered in exciting, imaginative, appropriate and challenging ways. The school acknowledges individual differences; while promoting harmony and mutual respect. The school provides an opportunity for all students to: feel safe from verbal and physical bullying; enjoy success and recognition; make a useful contribution to school life and derive enjoyment from their learning.

Dudley Public School seeks a sound working relationship between the students, parents and teachers as it sees this as of prime importance in determining a child’s educational success. The school mission statement is nurturing individual potential.

School Code of Behaviour and Rules

The School Welfare and Discipline Policy are based upon the concept that students must be skilled to take greater responsibility for;
Their own behaviour
Their own learning
Their own school community

There are five general school rules (for greater explanation ask for a copy of the School Welfare Policy):

• Take care of our school environment
• Help to make our school a happy and safe place
• Be honest and show respect
• Co-operate with everyone at school
• Always make wise choices
