At Hillside Primary School, our values permeate everything and can be clearly seen in all that we do with the children in our care. We believe our school values are very important because together with our vision they are the values that determine the behaviours everyone in the school community agree to live and work by.
We want every child to feel a valued part of our school community and feel they belong here. It is important that we take responsibility for ourselves, our environment and each other. We strive to be independent thinkers and learners, but we know when to ask for help.
We are brave and courageous; we stand up for what we know is right, we also have the courage to try new things and are not afraid to fail. We are kind to each other, we care for and look after our environment and all the people in it.
