At Port Lincoln Junior Primary School we aim to ensure that children develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes which will enable them to participate fully in their future, by providing a safe, success oriented learning and teaching environment. An environment which acknowledges and fosters the importance of the parent-teacher-student partnership, focuses on children as individuals, develops the whole child and affirms and empowers adults and children as learners.
We believe that classrooms are places where:
Children feel safe and happy.
There is a sense of both challenge and achievement.
People feel as if they belong.
Children are learning how to learn.
A wide range of learning experiences are provided.
Individuals are allowed to learn at their own pace.
Parents and teachers feel that they are genuine partners.
We believe that learning is:
Influenced by the relationship between school and home, teacher and child, child and peers.
Influenced by the learner's attitudes towards themselves as people and learners.
All learners have the right to have all of their learning needs met.
Influenced by the home, school and community environment.
A natural ongoing process of development that is different for each person, depending on experiences, abilities and styles of learning.
Teachers and parents are learners too.
Evaluation is an essential process to monitor the learning that has taken place and determine future action.
