Seeds For Success
Girraween Primary School have a set of defined values called ‘Seeds for
Success’. The school community believe these values will assist in attaining successful learning and living. They are addressed throughout the curriculum and within classroom behavior management on a regular basis. They are displayed throughout the school and featured within every classroom.

Parent volunteers and the School Council provide valuable support in attaining the school goals. Their professionalism and organization they provided on dance night is to be commended on.
The school has elected a Student Representative Council, these students are chosen to promote the school values around the school. The Peer
Leaders perform particular duties throughout the school ranging from sports monitors, library monitors through to sports captains.
Having a student leadership team provides the students with their own voice and leadership within the student body.

Whilst on my placement the whole school produced a performance for the school community. The night was themed Australian Countdown. Each classroom had to choose a particular Australian artist and practice and perform on the night. My class danced to funky town sung by “Psudo
Echo”. A disco followed the performances wrapping up a successful evening.
