The students play and work together under the school motto of Caring and Sharing.
Communication Guidelines
Our Communication Guidelines aim to ensure all community members continue to work together in a positive and respectful manner to ensure the growth and learning of all students. These guidelines outline the most appropriate and effective methods for parents to communicate with the school and informs parents of the different ways that the school keeps parents informed and connected.
Responsible behaviour
Every public school should have a safe and orderly learning environment. This is best achieved by creating an atmosphere in the school where students are actively engaged in the curriculum and
where they are provided with a range of engaging and relevant ways to learn; where they feel cared for by school staff; where they develop a sense of belonging to the school; and where teachers know
them well, build upon their strengths and encourage them to persist with tasks until they succeed. Students are more likely to behave well if they are in an environment where mutual respect is evident
and where students understand the relevance of the learning content. At the centre of successful behaviour management, is staff acting to meet students’ needs rather than simply reacting when they
misbehave.
Responsible Use of Internet and Mobile Devices Guidelines
With the widespread use of personal digital devices (including mobile phones and wearables), it is essential that
students, staff, and families work together to ensure responsible use at school. This policy outlines our approach
to the safe, respectful, and educational use of digital technologies, supporting effective learning in line with our
school values: Respect, Integrity, Perseverance, and Kindness.
Student Leadership guidelines
Inglewood Primary School encourages student leadership in various forms. Student leaders are the student
representatives of our learning community. This representation is a public position with student leaders being
called upon on official/special occasions to embrace and model high expectations, and embody our core
school values of Respect, Kindness, Perseverance and Integrity.
Attendance Guidelines
Inglewood Primary School recognises that students need to attend school on a regular basis to gain the maximum benefit from schooling in order to optimise their life opportunities.
At Inglewood Primary School there is an expectation that once enrolled, students will attend on a regular basis and positive attendance patterns will be fostered.
Consistent attendance and participation at school are essential factors in achieving social and academic learning outcomes. Student attendance of less than 90% will have an impact on a
child’s opportunity to achieve their potential.

Homework should be a positive experience for children and parents, reinforcing and enhancing the learning that occurs during the school day. Homework can support higher levels of student
achievement by extending the time available for students to consolidate skills and concepts learned at school.
