The school strives to build a positive, ambitious character in a student and to plant good values and habits to groom children as good citizens, confident of themselves.

   "Our aim is to develop to the full the potential of all pupils within a positive and caring atmosphere”. We wish to develop self-discipline within a caring environment. Children are encouraged to take care of the school environment and to keep all areas neat and tidy. Whilst responding positively to success and effort in offering praise, we also feel it necessary to check and deal appropriately with poor behaviour.

 THE POSITIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT IS ONE WHERE:

          All members of the school community feel safe and valued; social and academic learning outcomes are maximised for all through quality practices in the areas of curriculum, interpersonal relationships and school organization.

         School practices which involve a planned continuum from the positive or preventative actions to the responsive actions for specific individuals and groups; non-violent, non-coercive and non-discriminatory language and practices are defined, modelled and reinforced by all members of the School community; and suspension and exclusion procedures are considered only when all other approaches have been exhausted or rejected.

Cyber Safety

Primus Private School endeavors to provide a safe physical and emotional environment. This responsibility is linked to the use of the Internet and Information Communication Technologies (ICT) and a number of related cyber safety issues. Whilst the Internet and ICT equipment bring great benefits to the teaching and learning programme, they can also expose anti-social or inappropriate, material and activities. Primus Private School will develop and maintain rigorous and effective Cyber Safety Practices which aim to maximize the benefits of the Internet and ICT devices/equipment to student learning, while minimizing and managing any risks. These Cyber Safety Practices will aim to not only maintain a cyber-safe school environment, but also to address the needs of students and other members of the school community to receive education about the safe and responsible use of present and developing information and communication technologies.
