Vision & Values

At Yinnar Primary School we are all learners. 

Our vision is to empower students to be resilient, reflective and resourceful life-long learners who can learn independently and collaboratively. 

Our mission is to create and maintain a learning culture which strives for excellence in teaching, which builds the learning power of all students. 

At Yinnar Primary School we believe that learning should be a life-long enterprise. 

We aim to develop our students ‘Learning Power’, not just so they can complete school learning more easily and effectively, but so they will leave school with a set of skills and attitudes which will serve them through the journey of life.

We have a strong emphasis on developing our core values of Growth Mindset, Respect, Aim High, Curiosity and Enthusiasm (GRACE). Our core values encourage our students to be enthusiastic and curious about their learning and to respect themselves as well as each other. We want our children to leave our school as learners not just achievers.

Core Values

We have a strong emphasis on developing our core values of Growth Mindset, Respect, Aim High, Curiosity and Enthusiasm (GRACE). Our core values encourage our students to be enthusiastic and curious about their learning and to respect themselves as well as each other. We want our children to leave our school as learners, not just achievers. At Yinnar Primary School, we move forward together with a growth mindset empowering us to see endless possibilities and endeavour to reach our highest potential. We aim to instil in our children a belief that their intelligence can be cultivated and the importance of seeking out challenge and feedback for continued growth.

Our GRACE core values are introduced from Prep and are integral to the learning culture of our school.

Learning Traits

Our Learning Traits have been created to promote the understanding that these dispositions help us become stronger, more capable learners. These traits are not innate; they can be nurtured and developed through intentional teaching and meaningful learning experiences. At Yinnar Primary School, we strive to create environments that encourage and support the growth of these traits, helping students become more proactive, adaptable, and resilient throughout their learning journey. We have carefully designed our learning traits to align with our GRACE core values, with the explicit aim of developing and strengthening the cognitive and metacognitive skills essential for effective learning and problem-solving. Our focus is on helping each student become a more skilful and flexible learner by fostering a broad range of mental and emotional capacities.
