Making a difference
Dalmain Primary School students are considerate and respectful, caring for themselves, others and the environment. They pursue knowledge diligently and aspire to achieve academic excellence. Our students learn to understand the world around them, their roles and responsibilities in helping shape the future and ways in which they can make a difference.
A close working relationship exists between the students, staff and school community. Our School Board and the Parents and Citizens Association provide excellent support, assist with direction and perform active and significant roles within our school.
Our Values
Dalmain Primary School’s motto ‘Care, Strive, Achieve’ encapsulates the four core values outlined in the Department of Education's strategic direction for public schools 2020-2024.
The four core values guide everything we do. In stating these values, we acknowledge that words alone are not sufficient; it is actions, based on these values that are important.
LEARNING
We have a positive approach to learning and encourage it in others; we advance student learning based on our belief that all students have the capacity to learn.
EXCELLENCE
We have high expectations of our students and ourselves. We set standards of excellence and strive to achieve them. The standards and expectations challenge all of use to give our best
EQUITY
We recognise the differing circumstances and needs of our students and are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for all. We strive to create workplaces and learning environments that are free of discrimination, abuse or exploitation.
CARE
We treat all individuals with care. Our relationships are based on trust, mutual respect and the acceptance of responsibility. We recognise the value of working in partnership with parents/carers and the wider community in providing a quality education for our students.
