School Values

At IPS, our approach is governed by our five core values

Confidence

At Ivanhoe Primary School, we foster confidence by providing a supportive environment where students are encouraged to take risks, express themselves, and embrace challenges. Through opportunities for public speaking, creative expression, and leadership roles, we empower our students to believe in their abilities and approach new situations with self-assurance.

Independence

We cultivate independence by providing opportunities for students to explore, inquire, and problem-solve autonomously. Through project-based learning and guided discovery, we instill the confidence and skills necessary for students to take ownership of their learning journey and become self-reliant learners prepared for the challenges of the future.

Persistence

We champion persistence by fostering a growth mindset and emphasizing the importance of resilience in the face of challenges. Through personalized support, constructive feedback, and goal-setting exercises, we encourage our students to persevere through setbacks, learn from failures, and ultimately achieve their aspirations through determination and hard work.

Resilience

we nurture resilience by creating a safe and supportive environment where students learn to bounce back from adversity and setbacks. Through mindfulness practices, social-emotional learning, and supportive relationships with teachers and peers, we equip our students with the inner strength and coping strategies needed to navigate life's challenges with resilience, adaptability, and optimism.

Respect

we uphold respect as a cornerstone value, promoting a culture of understanding, empathy, and appreciation for diversity. Through inclusive practices, conflict resolution techniques, and curriculum integration that celebrates different cultures and perspectives, we instill in our students the importance of treating others with dignity, kindness, and compassion, fostering a community where everyone feels valued and respected.
