Vision and Values

School Vision 

Our school values the opportunities that diversity affords and the pursuit of excellence in all fields. Our school is committed to high expectations for academic success while ensuring the principles of educational pedagogy are exemplified in the learning environment by:

  • creating a supportive, respectful and productive learning environment;
  • promoting self-motivation, persistence, independence and interdependence; 
  • ensuring student needs, interests and diversity are reflected in the learning experiences;
  • challenging students and providing opportunities to develop deep understanding, reflect on values and attitudes and build and apply skills. 

School Values 

At the heart of Fort Street Public School is the teaching, understanding and promotion of society's core values of:

  • respect
  • responsibility
  • care
  • excellence
  • integrity

The Fort Street focus is to promote positive attitudes and values by building self-esteem and resilience within every student. The student welfare policy actively recognises and encourages positive behaviour through meaningful teacher feedback, peer recognition, a classroom merit award system, student recognition at school assemblies, celebrations of student successes and strong, enthusiastic House teams. 

The FSPS community strives to provide a safe, happy and stimulating educational environment in which all members of the school community are nurtured, feel valued as individuals and achieve success.
