Gordon Primary's PhilosophyGordon Primary School is an educational community made up of students, parents, staff and members of the wider community who meet together in an atmosphere of mutual respect and co-operation. The school context provides many of our students with first encounters of the world outside their immediate family and neighbourhood. Our common goals are managing change, understanding our multicultural school environment and meeting the needs of individuals and groups. We aim to promote responsibility, knowledge of self and tolerance of others within a caring environment. This will foster confidence and positive attitudes allowing children to reach their potential while taking control and responsibility for their own actions. We provide a happy and safe place to learn, recognising the importance of our environment both local and global. A challenging, balanced education program addresses the eight key learning areas of Mathematics, English Language, the Arts, Health and Physical Education, Technology, Studies of Society and the Environment, Science and our Language Other Than English, Japanese. It also addresses the full range of across curriculum perspectives including Social Justice and Equity. The school community believes these early experiences will form the basis for a broad and balanced education that looks to the future by promoting the concept of life-long learning with understanding and confidence. The learner's personal best will be valued and achieved.
