2018's Values Quality Mark achievement makes us happy. Monty, our values' mascot, started attending our school in September 2019. He takes part in our school's assemblies with enthusiasm and consistently turns into a member of the class. He now joins a class that has been recognised for upholding our school's core principles, which is an enormous honour! He takes great pride in attending Old Park Primary School. Our school's principles are ingrained in our daily culture, highlighted in our Well-Being Curriculum, and reinforced through our House system (which includes visits from Monty).
