Values


Carisbrook Primary School values are Respect, Integrity and Resilience


 Resilience

Carisbrook Primary School students, parents and staff believe that resilience is the ability to adapt to different situations. It is having the skills to bounce back from disappointments or setbacks. Resilience is being able to solve problems and cope with life’s challenges whilst maintaining a positive attitude towards yourself and others. It is also keeping your emotions and stress in check and letting things go. Resilience is also about persevering and not giving up, even though situations seem impossible.



Integrity

Carisbrook Primary School students, staff and parents believe that integrity is ‘being your word’, doing what you say you’re going to do and doing the right thing even when it’s difficult or when nobody is watching. The ‘right thing’ is what is best for everybody who is concerned. It means following through with your agreements and promises, and if you can’t meet what you say, renegotiate. When you have integrity with someone, there is trust between you. It is essential to have integrity with both yourself and others.



Respect

Carisbrook Primary School students, staff and parents believe that respect is being considerate of oneself, others and the environment. Being respectful is reflected in how we speak, act and treat one another. It involves caring about cultural differences and everybody’s rights.
