Staff Self-Awareness and Growth

Staff self-awareness and growth is a necessary and an ongoing prerequisite for being able to work safely with our students. This means:

• understanding who we are and what we bring to any interaction or space, especially in relation to our students;

• recognising and challenging our biases/privilege/power imbalances;

• engaging in professional learning; and

• looking after ourselves in a challenging controlled and trauma-saturated environment.

Parkville College students deserve the very best prepared educators. Modelling and demonstrating self-awareness and a commitment to personal growth is a valuable part of the school’s vision.
