School Vision
Manchester Primary School is committed to providing high quality education in a learning environment where each child is valued and encouraged to achieve their best. The Manchester Primary School vision is to provide a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment where every student can reach their full potential. This vision is supported by our motto: Inspire, Engage, Achieve.
At Manchester Primary School we make learning and social development of every child our priority. We value relationships as the foundation on which student success is built. Our teaching and learning approach targets achievement by promoting active engagement in learning, based on the Victorian Curriculum.
School Values
The Manchester Primary School community is guided by our behaviour values of Responsibility, Respect and Resilience. We are focused on promoting wellbeing in our school community to substantially improve social and emotional outcomes for our students, using the School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework. This evidence-based approach provides effective ways to create a positive and engaging learning environment, and has research to show its success in promoting positive behaviour, improving school culture, and increasing academic performance. Through this approach, we explicitly teach the expected positive behaviours which are outlined in our Positive Behaviour Matrix. This is further supported through our Flying Start program and Respectful Relationships program.
Diversity
The school embraces and celebrates its diverse community, and works proactively to ensure all students enjoy equitable access to the school’s curriculum and co-curricular programs. Our staff uphold the Victorian public sector values of integrity, responsiveness, impartiality, accountability, respect, leadership and a commitment to human rights.
