Inclusive practice

Promoting inclusion

At Albany Primary School, we:

• model and promote inclusive behaviour, language, concepts, and values at school

• work to confront and eliminate racism, discrimination, and stigma in education

• do not tolerate any bullying or harassment

• acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of our students and staff

• avoid cultural bias

• aim to have a board and staff that is gender-balanced and reflects the ethnic and socio-economic diversity and character of our school community

• support staff seeking professional development with a focus on inclusion and diversity.

Our goal is to ensure that your child is given every opportunity possible to develop and grow through our inclusive and holistic curriculum.

Children and young people learn best when they feel accepted, when they enjoy positive relationships with their fellow learners and teachers, and when they are able to be active, visible members of the learning community.

Enacting Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles, inclusive learning communities do the right thing by learners and communities (tika), with integrity (pono) and with care and sincerity (aroha).
