Kindness, resilience, integrity, curiosity & respect.
Our values are embedded in all aspects of life at Alphington Primary School and truly support our endeavour to assist students to be outstanding in all that they do.
Students develop social skills such as understanding what it means to be a good friend and how to care for and work with others.
The Alphington Lizard consists of many interlocking elements that contribute to our well-respected, successful school. These include students, teachers, parents, community members, the learning environment and opportunity.
The five colours represent the values that we promote:
- Kindness: demonstrating empathy and being inclusive; displaying gratitude.
- Respect: consideration for self, others and the world around us; being polite and courteous.
- Resilience: being flexible and able to bounce back; being optimistic.
- Curiosity: showing interest and wonder; making choices; a love of learning.
- Integrity: being honest and fair; having a sense of what’s right and living it.
The muted colour palette represents the colours of the Yarra River and its surrounding bushlands while the lines between them signify the flowing water.
Much like the school the lizard appears in motion, depicting a readiness to move forward.
Its energy is evident in characterising the zest for learning our children demonstrate.
