Respect
Hampton East School students demonstrate respect towards their fellow peers, staff, members of the community and themselves.
Respect is shown when students:
● Use manners, for instance, opening or holding doors for others, being polite, saying thank you
● Listening to others and being aware of other people’s views and feelings
● Include others within class, during recess and lunchtime
● Showing good communication skills, for example politely greeting others
Integrity
Students display integrity across all aspects of their schooling experience, ensuring a school environment that enables all individuals to thrive.
Students display integrity by:
● Encouraging others
● Working well within a team
● Being fair, honest and following school rules
● Showing qualities of good leadership, including, representing the school, mentoring other students and acting as role models
Resilience
Hampton East School recognises the importance of resilience within students’ lives, as a fundamental aspect on wellbeing and mental health.
Students display resilience by:
● Accepting responsibility for their own behaviour
● ‘Bouncing back’ or continuing to try again when mistakes are made
● Regulating their own behaviour
● Offering solution to conflicts
Independence
Students are encouraged to develop their own independence, preparing themselves for future endeavours and post-school pathways. Students are encouraged to reflect on their personal strengths and abilities, strengthening their confidence and thus promoting independence.
Students show independence by:
● Following routines
● Completing tasks to a high standard, thriving to reach their full potential
● Using initiative, for example, cleaning the classroom, putting equipment away, placing litter in the bin.
Students may be awarded a ‘Golden Ticket’, which will contribute to their house’s points as recognition for their behaviours that exemplify Hampton East School’s values.
