Every school has a motto or mission statement that outlines how each community member can benefit from being part of the school community.
St Clare’s Primary School in Officer has the following school motto: Faith leads to courage, wisdom and compassion.
To live out this motto, all members of the school community are asked to follow the schoolwide expectations: respect, optimism, courage, kind and safe, or ROCKS.
Students follow these in their daily actions at school by doing their jobs, having a go, making positive choices, seeking help when needed, modelling and practising kindness, and keeping themselves and others safe.
At St Clare’s, these expectations are modelled and explicitly taught and reinforced in an ongoing way.
Student awards are based on living out ROCKS and the St Clare’s team links these expectations to scriptures in the Bible.
The hope is that all members of the school community will leave St Clare’s with the schoolwide expectations and motto instilled in their minds as they go through life.
The school looks to nurture the holistic development of each child.
Family, numeracy and literacy skills are core elements of education at St Clare’s, but so is religious education – developing empathy, social justice and a strong moral compass.
The school encourages active play and healthy bodies; understanding other cultures through learning languages; and the confidence that comes with developing creativity through the performing and visual arts.
Student achievement is measured not only by academic growth but by each child’s emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.
Being part of a faith-filled community instils students with a sense of identity, a feeling of belonging and, above all, a powerful sense of self-worth.
At St Clare’s, the aim is to help each child reach their potential and be a well-rounded individual within a supportive and caring learning environment.
