At Banyan Fields Primary School, our mascot, TESS the Turtle, reminds us that Together We Thrive.

We believe that learning flourishes in an environment built on strong relationships, shared responsibility, and a commitment to growth for every learner. Our school community—students, staff, and families—works collaboratively to create a place where everyone feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their best.

Vision

Creating a bright and connected future for every learner — where Tenacity, Equity, Synergy and Stewardship 

guide us to thrive together.

Mission

At Banyan Fields Primary School, we are committed to delivering a holistic education—academic, emotional, and social—within a nurturing and inclusive community. Guided by our core values of Tenacity, Equity, Synergy, and Stewardship (TESS), we strive to ensure that every learner feels safe, respected, and ready to thrive.

Objective

Our objective is to develop learners who demonstrate:

• Tenacity – showing courage, persistence, and a love of learning, even when faced with challenges.
• Equity – ensuring fairness, inclusion, and opportunities for all.
• Synergy – working together with empathy, respect, and shared purpose.
• Stewardship – caring for ourselves, one another, and our world responsibly and sustainably.

Through these values, our students become empowered citizens who contribute positively to their community and the future.

Our Values – TESS

Our values shape who we are, how we learn, and how we connect. They guide every action, interaction, and decision across our school community.

• Tenacity: We try, we learn, we never give up.
• Equity: We include, we support, we respect.
• Synergy: We listen, we learn, we grow together.
• Stewardship: We care for people, places and possibilities.
