Our Values
The promotion of positive community values is an important part of learning. The CHEER program was developed in 2009, to encourage and reward students modeling qualities valued by our school and the community. Students and a dedicated group of staff were chosen to form a committee, together with an external expert they decided to survey and interview parents, students, staff, and the community to establish which values were important to our school and our community. It was important to choose values that were relatable and relevant to ‘real life’ in order for them to influence behaviour and produce positive outcomes both academically and for wellbeing.
“Our CHEER values mirror important values to society. They are an extension of their (students) involvement in society” Nathan Foti HT Science.
The CHEER values are displayed throughout our school on banners and posters, and the logo is featured on all school paperwork. They are the link between sporting and academic achievement to our merit systems, and connect students with our school rules.
We believe that CHEER qualities will enable our students to become successful and productive members of society.
The CHEER qualities are:
· Connections
· Honesty
· Empathy
· Excellence
· Respect
