Junction
Park State School is a creative and vibrant learning environment. Learning is stimulating,
innovative and exciting. We support each other and care for each other. Our
strength is our welcoming and inclusive community. We value individuals from
all social and cultural backgrounds; everyone has ownership. We share the
courage to change; to challenge the way we have always done things and to
innovate in our teaching. We are a school where great ideas are embraced. We
find and support the spark in every student.
All
members of our community share our vision to develop a love of learning and a life-long
learner. We believe that learning outcomes are maximised by working
collaboratively. We value strong partnerships amongst staff, students, parents,
and community who are involved in and committed to our school. Communication in
our school is open; all voices are heard and respected.
We
have the best staff with specialised skills. They are role models who inspire
students to be the best they can be. Our teaching builds on students’
interests, strengths and learning styles. Strategic early intervention sets the
foundation for learning. Engaging learning occurs both inside and outside the
classroom. We have well resourced
classrooms with up-to-date technology. Our students are eager to progress and
reach new heights. Our school is recognised as a place where there are high
expectations for students and staff. Our students have a rich repertoire of
thinking skills and can generate ideas for themselves. Everyone is willing to
give new ideas a go.
We value the history of Junction Park State
School. Our heritage buildings, school song and school motto, Fortitude and
Fidelity, richly represent the history of our school. We are all part
of the Junction Park extended family; together we care for our school resources,
our outdoor environment and we are not wasteful. Our school environment is lush
and green, supporting sustainable practices. Our whole school community takes
responsibility for our environment.
We
relate to each other with professional respect, courtesy and good humour. We
work as a team and value different ideas. All staff are encouraged and
mentored. Our Professional Development is targeted to specific goals that
reinforce our whole school vision. It is continuous, consistent and has ongoing
support. Through this our staff keep up with international best practice. We
play to our strengths and always strive to improve.
We
ensure that there are daily opportunities for every student to shine.
