PRIDE At Cranbourne Primary School we promote Intrinsic PRIDE in

ourselves and our learning.

Persistence— the quality that allows someone to continue doing

something or trying to do something even though it is difficult.

Responsibility— demonstrating qualities that someone can be

trusted to do what is right, what is expected or required.

Individuality— being able to think and make decisions without

following others.

Discipline— being able to stay focused on a task or goal without

distraction or the need for direction from others.

Enthusiasm—showing an excitement or interest in a subject.

These attributes are also demonstrated through our 5 school rules.

1. Be a responsible and supportive member of your Learning

Community.

2. Communicate with others in a respectful and courteous

manner.

3. Stay within your own personal space.

4. Use equipment for its correct purpose at the correct time.

5. Follow all staff instructions.
