Independence ‘From tying shoe laces to remembering to read and do homework each night, there are so many positive influences at school that are helping my son to learn to be an independent.’

Commitment ‘With encouragement, my child knows they can achieve anything they want with hard work and commitment.’

Respect ‘I am very impressed with the children’s behaviour. Whenever I’ve helped on school trips they are well mannered and respectful to adults – a credit to the school’.

Excellence ‘I love that my daughter is always encouraged to do the best she can and when mistakes happen, she is encouraged to use them as an opportunity for growth’

Honesty ‘Children at Mead Vale are taught from a young age that honesty is such an important value and also a life skill’.

Hope ‘My daughter’s teacher encourages not just my child, but all the children, to strive and aspire for the very best. The children are inspired to believe they can achieve their dreams’.
