Our Communication Commitment
Prescott Primary Northern values respect, and strives to uphold respectful manner in all our interactions.

We are committed to ensuring that our school remains a place where bullying and other harmful communication behaviours are not tolerated.
​
We encourage staff, students and families to prioritise respectful manner in all interactions by:
-
Considering the impact of our communication behaviours on others
-
Treating others in the way we ourselves like to be treated
-
Apologising when we treat others unkindly
-
Politely addressing disrespectful behaviour if we witness or experience it.
​
Amongst our team, stakeholders and community we will:
-
have each other’s backs
-
greet each other and say thank you
-
listen to each other’s opinions
-
be open to new ideas

behave professionally in all situations
-
consider the impact of our manner
-

Because we care, we won't:
-
ignore requests and business processes
-
make patronising or sarcastic comments
-
jump to conclusions
-
talk about people behind their back
-
criticise people in front of others
-
dominate conversations and interrupt
-
be persistently negative
-
raise concerns in a disrespectful way
-
allow any toxic behaviour
