At Mission Grove, we are proud to be a Rights Respecting School where every child is encouraged to learn, grow and succeed in a safe, respectful and inclusive environment. In Year 1, we follow shared values that reflect our commitment to learning, kindness and responsibility — both in how we treat others and how we care for our school and community.
Just something to think about and remember!
• To value our learning time (Article 28)
• To respect each other’s safety by keeping our hands and feet to ourselves (Article 19)
• To listen and speak to each other with respect (Article 12)
• To respect our environment by looking after it (Article 24)
• To include everyone at all times and support each other (Article 31, 14)
