Our vision defines everything that we do, every day. Barcaldine Prep-12 State School is committed to educating and empowering all students to succeed through their curiosity for learning. Our team is dedicated to providing a learning environment for students and staff, where students have the opportunity to engage in quality learning experiences and acquire values supportive of their lifelong wellbeing.
Our Motto
Our motto ‘In All Our Best’ stands as a reminder that we are always moving forward as a school, pulling together to create the best learning for our students.
Our Mantras
Underpinning our Vision and Motto are our core mantras. These are not rules, but guiding principles through which all our staff, students and community can positively manage their approach to education at our school.
Attitude + Effort = Success: With the right attitude towards learning and putting in the best effort, everyone can achieve success in their schooling.
Time on Task: Teachers great teaching, learning and educational opportunities, our students respect this by focusing on the task in front of them, placing that time as a priority for their learning.
Fun Safe Play: Students approach play with an emphasis on Fun, but with a responsibility to remain safe at all times.
Behaviour Influences Behaviour: We recognise as a school community that our behaviours have an influence over others both positively and negatively. We understand that our behaviours have power and while we are each responsible for our own behaviour, we are collectively responsible for the wider impact that these behaviours may have on our learning community.
Supporting these mantras is the notion of Calm and Reasonable: where students and staff promote school wide expectation that there will be a calm approach to all facets of school life and student responses will be appropriately reasonable to any issue or request that arises throughout school operations.
