South Downs Primary is a community that values and respects the learning and success of all its members. Together we actively create a positive learning environment for today and our future. At South Downs Primary we value and respect the views and efforts of everyone and aim to remain positive in outlook and proactive in intent. The school values of respect, responsibility, self-discipline and unity are explicitly taught in conjunction with the Program Achieve 'keys' of confidence, getting along, persistence, resilience and organisation. Using school-wide positive behaviour learning strategies, we explicitly teach expected behaviours along with the rights and responsibilities of individuals and groups and the impact of bystander behaviour. Our site-learning plan priorities for the next three years are literacy, numeracy, site well-being and Science. The school has a dedicated literacy block each morning where school service officers work alongside teachers providing individual and small group support. Additional support programs are phonological awareness, rocket reading and speech. The school has specialist teachers in Physical Education (R-7) and Music (R-2).
