Our students prosper in a safe and nurturing environment. We
have an effective welfare and discipline program that results in a
happy family atmosphere within a large school setting.
Children with Special Needs
Scone Primary School has
a Special Education Classroom which emphasises inclusivity, through
integration in everyday aspects of school life. This includes
assemblies, sports and classroom integration.
We offer a caring
environment which caters for each individual student.
An Individual
Educational Program (IEP) is established for each child.
These programs
emphasise building independence, catering to all needs and special
requirements of the child.
Students participate in
cooking sessions, gross motor and Riding for the Disabled (RDA).

Sun Protection
Children are required to wear a suitable hat when
outside in the playground. Sunscreen is available to all children.
Children not wearing a hat will be asked to play in a shaded area.
Assemblies
Each department (i.e.
K-2 and 3-6) holds a formal weekly assembly where messages of general
interest are given, class items are performed and the children’s efforts
are rewarded with Merit Awards and Certificates. These assembly times
are given on the weekly Newsletter. Parents are welcome to attend the
assemblies which are usually held on Fridays.
Daily
assemblies for K-2 and 3-6 students are usually held at midday in the
Covered Outdoor Learning Areas.
Awards
Merit Awards are issued
by the teaching staff. When the children receive
5 Merit Awards they are
awarded their
First Level of Achievement Certificate.
A
Second Level of
Achievement Certificate is awarded for
10 Merit Awards.
A
Third Level of
Achievement Certificate is awarded for
15 Merit Awards.
An
Honour Student Badge is
awarded for
20 Merit Awards.
The children are
encouraged to safely store these special awards so that the next “level
of achievement” can be gained.
Dance
Each year a number of
dance groups are formed.
In 2007 the Boys dance
group performed at the Hunter Schools Dance Festival at Newcastle.
