VALUES
Merri-bek Primary School acknowledges that the behaviour of staff, parents, carers and students has an impact on our school community and culture. We acknowledge a shared responsibility to create a positive learning environment for the children and young people at our school.
Supporting the MPS Vision and Mission are three core values: Respect, appreciating diversity and being considerate of how people think and live; Responsibility, empowering students to take ownership of their learning and actions; and Resilience, continually strengthening our capacity to understand challenges and create new possibilities. These values drive our culture of positive relationships, diversity and empowerment and convey the beliefs that positively influence our behaviour and the way we interact with individuals, groups and communities.
