Beechworth Primary School is a child-centered school. The voices of the children are significant and their views are respected. We believe that children are adventurous in acquiring knowledge, intellectually curious and keen to actively engage in making sense of their world. We encourage joyful pursuit and excitement of learning for our entire School Community.

Caring

At Beechworth Primary School we strive towards caring for ourselves, others and our environment.  We are a caring school community that displays kindness and understanding to others through our words and actions.

We demonstrate caring through:

• Speaking to others how we would like to be spoken to
• Considering others needs by showing generosity, patience and understanding
• Making others feel special by including them in our games and part of a community
• ‘Friending’ someone on the buddy bench
• Using encouraging words 
• Being honest
• Looking after ourselves (exercise, good nutrition, plenty of sleep, effective hygiene practices)
• Picking up rubbish in the yard and tidying up after ourselves in all settings

Persistence

At Beechworth Primary School we seek challenges in our education and we work hard towards achieving our goals. We continually grow as individuals and as learners by giving/trying our best in the classroom, in the playground and at home.

We demonstrate persistence by:

• Listening to feedback and taking on suggestions for improvement.
• Persevering in academic, social  and extra-curricular activities and by knowing when to seek help.
• Having a growth mindset to understand that mistakes and challenges are a part of learning.
• Never giving up and seeing something through to the end.
