Every school has a motto or mission statement that outlines how each member of the community can benefit from being part of the school community.
St Clare’s Primary School, Officer, has the following school motto: Faith leads to courage, wisdom and compassion.
In order to live out this motto, all members of its community are asked to follow school-wide expectations which are Respect, Optimism, Courage, Kind and Safe – ROCKS.
St Clare’s students follow these in their daily actions at school by doing their job, 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 school links these expectations to scriptures in the Bible.
The hope is that all members of the St Clare’s community will leave the school with the school-wide expectations and motto instilled in their minds as they go through life.
St Clare’s looks to nurture the holistic development of each child at the school.
For the St Clare’s family, numeracy and literacy skills are core elements of education, 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 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 have each child reach their potential to be a well-rounded individual, within a supportive and caring learning environment.
