Resilience (we accept feedback and use it for improvement; we bounce back when things just don't seem to be going right and we make an effort to make things right again); Integrity (we are honest with each other; we are accountable for the decisions we make; we own up to our mistakes); and Teamwork (we make sure that we listen and contribute; we make sure that we encourage and give others the opportunity to contribute; and we work together to achieve our best.

Gladysdale Primary School prides itself with the promotion of building positive and caring relationships, and student wellbeing. The school has re-engaged with 'Play is the Way' practical methodology for teaching social and emotional learning. This uses guided play, classroom activities and an empowering language behaviour education using wisdom, not force. It is a process that gives us a way to develop, improve and entrench the personal and social capabilities of students.
