Our vision for our children at St John Bosco Primary School is for everyone to be safe, happy and learning in an environment where each individual is respected; where Christ is at the centre of our daily lives; where families are valued as partners in their child’s learning; where children are stimulated, engaged and challenged; where the Rights of the Child are evidenced in our daily interactions; where sustaining our world is a message that is promoted throughout our community and beyond.
Our school is known locally as SJB and our children have used this as the inspiration for our school mottos:
School Journey Begins
Sharing Jesus Beliefs
Striving for Joy & Brilliance
Safety, Justice & excellent Behaviour

Values
Kindness – This means we care for each other and treat each other with kindness and concern. We are loving and kind in the way we speak and the way we act. Kindness helps us create a school where we feel safe, valued and welcome. This includes when people are unhappy or not getting on well, we will always respond to this with kindness and love.
Inclusion – This means everyone is welcomed and loved for who they are. We recognise how diverse our school community is and celebrate that we offer support and learning at all levels that gets it right for our children and their families. We put our children at the centre of what we do and the decisions we make. We are proud to be a part of a wider Campus and Learning Community that includes Bargarran Primary.
Support – We are Team SJB; we are in this together. We give each other support to learn and grow. We support each other through success and through challenges. We value hard work and effort. We help develop resilience and are ambitious for our pupils. You are part of a team, a family and a community at SJB.
Compassion – The care, love and concern we show for each other extends to our wider community and the wider world. We care about what is happening to others and in line with Jesus’ beliefs, care for our neighbours wherever they may be in the world. We will forgive each other and seek to help our children manage relationships and behaviour in a way that reflects all of our values.
