From the Pixmore Junior School
Children and adults are valued and respected at Pixmore, which is a joyful, loving school. We recognise everyone who works at the school for their valuable contributions in a way that reflects this. We strive to create a casual yet focused environment. Children do best, in our experience, in a relaxed, welcoming setting where respect, good judgement, and care for others are expected. We take a constructive stance on behaviour and encourage kids to think about other people by teaching them self-control and respect for other people and the school. We provide youngsters with a stimulating environment at Pixmore where their efforts are valued. In all facets of school life, including attitudes toward learning and toward other people, the presentation of one's work and oneself, high standards are expected.
