"Learning together; supporting one another as we strive to be the greatest" Every student at Mary Swanwick Primary School is given the opportunity to receive a first-rate education that is engaging, exciting, and helps them realise their full potential as successful learners. All of our students are held to the highest standards, and we push them to pursue academic, creative, athletic, and personal success within a diverse, vibrant, and enriched curriculum. In order to ensure that kids accept challenge and aren't afraid to make mistakes, we celebrate tenacity, resilience, and risk-taking. We teach kids to take ownership of and responsibility for their education so they may be curious and self-assured when they ask questions, work through challenges, and respond to constructive criticism. Children are lauded for their diligence, tenacity, and positive outlook. We encourage a culture of respect and empathy, one that values and celebrates diversity both inside the school and in the larger community. Children are taught the importance of safety and welfare as well as the virtues of kindness, appreciation, and what it is to be brave. We actively work to engage with all community members in a constructive and encouraging manner, and we encourage open and honest dialogue with parents, carers, and professionals. Our goal is for every child to graduate from Mary Swanwick Primary School a self-confident student who respects others. We want all of our kids to grow up with a passion for learning that will give them the know-how and abilities they need for a future that is both fascinating and ever-changing. We all work toward the same objective, which is "Learning together; supporting one another to accomplish our best."
